Crime Watch from not so far away: Burien bank robber

Though it didn’t happen in West Seattle, it wasn’t that far away, and the photo’s pretty clear, so on the offhand chance you recognize this bank robber, we’re sharing the photo provided by the FBI. He held up a Key Bank on SW 152nd in Burien around 10:45 this morning, using a “demand note.” White man, late 20s, medium height, slim build, brown hair, and goatee. Call 911 if you have a clue about his identity and/or whereabouts.

    It’s sad that it’s gotten to this for him.

    So, WSB, are you really recommending that anyone in the area who sees a middle sized, bearded white dude wearing a dark knit cap with brim and dark logoed hoody call 911? Sorry, that’s bogus.

    No, just if you see the guy in the photo:)

    So, what’s the deal?
    You just walk in, hand over a note that says
    “Gimmee alla your cash”
    and they hand it over?
    Does the teller even haggle while he/she presses the
    secret button?
    Or is the secret button gone for cost saving purposes?
    WTF, no wonder it’s happening everywhere.

    Nulu, the only thing that’s bogus is your comment.
    If you really can’t understand the written word, maybe you should refrain from insulting those who can.

    Nulu’s note was made with tongue firmly in cheek, based on discussions in another crime thread earlier this week. Guess you had to be there to know that, though. Anyway, like d, I got it too! :)

Sorry, comment time is over.
