Underpants Fail to Mask Robber's Identity
OSLO (Reuters) - A drunken Norwegian who pulled a pair of underpants over his face and robbed a post office was awakened by police two days later to find he had tipped them off about his identity.
The 47-year-old drunk charged into the post office and handed over a note saying "This is a robbery," the local newspaper Bergensavisen said on Friday.
But his wife's name and personal details were on the back of the demand note, the newspaper said.
The man told a court he did not remember the robbery, but admitted he had a suspicion of having been up to no good when he woke up and saw a picture of the be-knickered robber in the newspaper and found a large wad of money in his living room.
