Revealing Robbery Notes

The FBI reports one of the most unusual robbery demand notes they have on record was written on the back of a subpoena issued to the bank robber in Pittsburgh, PA.

One fellow wrote his on the back of an envelope that was addressed to him in Detroit.

And one really bright wanna-be robber in East Hartford, Connecticut first filled out a withdrawal slip with his account number and signature, and then changed his mind and wrote a robbery demand note on the back of it!
