'Shady' thief confesses to bank robbery

Leafy
Surveillance video shows the leaf-clad robber exiting the bank.

Tree huggers and bank tellers rejoice.

A man who tried to disguise himself with tree branches while robbing a Manchester, N.H. bank was arrested by police on Monday, the New Hampshire Union Leader reports.

What screwed him up was that he used Dogwood branches. That wasn't bad but when he started to bark the tellers realized something was amiss and that he wasn't a real tree.

Wow... that paper was called the Manchester Union-Leader for *decades*; when did it change its name?

Submit the tape to Stupid Criminal. What type of disguise way that? The guy obviously is MENTAL and need a place to sleep and eat, therefore do something that will send me to jail and allow taxpayers to support me.

Britney Spears and him would make a beautiful couple. They could both rob a bank together naked with tree branches hanging in various places.
