Police say man in wheelchair robbed bank Fri Apr 4, 7:15 PM ET
PALO ALTO, Calif. - Palo Alto police are looking for a bank robber who favors a decidedly slow-speed getaway vehicle — an electric wheelchair. Police said a man in his 60s with gray hair and a beard held up the Wachovia Bank branch at the Stanford Shopping Center late this afternoon with a black handgun.
After the stickup, he left in his wheelchair and was last seen motoring down a nearby street toward El Camino Real, a major thoroughfare.
Witnesses say the man's legs were wrapped in bandages and his right leg was sticking straight out while he zoomed away.
Police are looking for a white Ford van that the suspect may have been hoisted into after the robbery.
Investigators don't know whether the wheelchair was just a prop or whether the suspect was truly disabled.

Maybe he needed the money to pay his hospital bill or the rntal on his whell chair? ;D

Hope he picked a bank on hill, to help with the fast getaway, those loading devices on vans are pretty slow. 8)

I could have kicked his disabled butt. What's wrong with all those wussies in Cali?

Wussies and Ca. in the same sentance is kind of repeating your self ;D I'm surprised no one stuck a water bottle in his spokes and stood BEHIND the wheel chair even WITH a gun he can't turn around that far ;D people, especialy in Ca. are gutless and not to bright.
