Dear god, that happened in my home town. I frickin' grew up about three blocks from that bank.

That's pretty smart.


Mitch Ruth, who works across from the bank, saw the robbery from his office window and said the suspect was wearing a blue shirt and a dust mask, according to a KING-5 News report.
...
Mike, who wanted to be identified only by his first name, told KING-5 that he saw a Craigslist ad last week seeking workers for a road-maintenance project. He inquired and was e-mailed instructions to meet near the bank at 11 a.m. Tuesday and to wear specific clothing.
"Yellow vest, safety goggles, a respirator mask ... and, if possible, a blue shirt," Mike told KING-5.
...
Police are investigating the ad to determine whether it is linked to the robbery, Willis said.*shakes Magic 8 Ball*

It would be much cooler if the bank robber was just one of the CL applicants and put the robbery together in response to learning that a number of people would be hanging around outside the bank wearing disguises. But that only happens in the movies!
