German bank robber REALLY screws up...

A MAN who tried to hold up a bank that closed 17 years ago has been jailed for seven years, a court said, in what the Bild daily called the case of "Germany's dumbest bank robber".
The regional court in the western city of Osnabrueck said the defendant, identified only as 57-year-old Siegfried K, arrived at the bank branch, now equipped only with cash machines, with a toy gun in May.

He seized a female "hostage" in the lobby of the building to demand a $13,220 ransom from bank employees.

"This plan failed however due to the fact that the building has not held a bank for more than a decade but rather a physiotherapy practice," the court said in a statement.

Bild said the bank had moved out 17 years ago.
