The Get A Way vehicle was....
About 3am this morning, we had a gentleman put a Glock to a casino employees head and rob the place. His get a way vehicle was a Jet Ski parked on the river and had a driver waiting.
The problems were:
1. The robber dropped the money and had to pick it up.
2. He was on the second floor of the casino and needed to go downstairs to get to the river and jet ski.
3. Security tackled him and held him for police.
4. His driver left and went down river but there are two sheriff's river patrols within a quarter mile of where this went down.
5. He fell into the river and got wet in 40 degree weather so he lost his clothes.
6. He got too cold and lay naked hiding in the bushes along the river.
7. The K-9 units from four agencies made lunch out of the guy.
Within three hours, both men were in custody.
May not be the first casino ever to be robbed but it is the first time a Jet Ski would have been the get a way vehicle.

I'm thinking the people who planned that job weren't exactly candidates for membership in MENSA...

They sound more like the OWS type.

"Dude, they will never be able to catch us on the jet ski, the casino doesn't even own one."
"You are right, this will be great, there is hardly anyone watching the $$ at a casino. Let's do it."

I still am waiting to learn where the jet ski came from. I bet it was stolen.

Back in 1971 I worked as a Gas Pump Jockey for Sohio. One night just before closing a couple of morons held me up. They thought they were clever in parking their getaway car up the road a bit and walking through the woods. Thier mistake was choosing an old Mary Kay Cadillac with no mufflers, woke up a neighbor who was quite observant. Word went out to the local PD's to look for a pink, rusty, 1962 Cadillac and they were picked up at a local bar within 45 minutes. Their total take was 48 bucks and when nabbed they still had 44 dollars on them. The one with the gun got 20 years and his partner got 10.
BTW, the police response was simply amazing. Within 5 minutes of placing the call to the local PD I had so many local and OHP cars on the lot that the 2 units that responded from Akron had to park in the street.
BTW, this was in Boston Heights, Ohio and I had cars for BHPD, Hudson, Twinsburg, Macedonia, Cuyahoga Falls, Akron, and 5 Ohio Highway Patrol cars respond. It probably was a slow night but I don't think you would see that kind of response today.

In 1984 a gang used a helicopter to rob a bank in texas. James little was a vietnam era vet that was the pilot. He was a alaskan HP trooper before that. A book "Once a hero" was wrote about him.

The idea had merit but the execution left a little something to be desired.

Heck, I'll give them a bump for creativity and effort. At least they didn't go with the old and worn out methods. They just didn't think it all the way through.

I do not think they thought it out any at all.
