TAXI !

In San Diego, California Joe Commisso robbed a bank, walked out to the street, hailed a cab and made his getaway. Unfortunately, he had done the same kind of bank robbery before, again making his escape in a cab. This time alert and observant bankers got the cab number. They gave it to the police. They managed to get the cell phone number of the cab driver, who was instructed to pull over and get out of the car. Police immediately surrounded the taxi and arrested Mr. Commisso, this time recovering all the money he had taken in the holdup.
