The woman who has been somewhat unkindly nicknamed the &#8220;Plain Jane Bandit&#8221; by the press isn&#8217;t letting her newfound moniker deter her from her chosen line of work: She was recently spotted robbing a Chase bank in Cerritos, her eighth SoCal robbery in about a month. [<a href=\"http:\/\/laist.com\/\">LAist<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p>From the story:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>ABC 7 reports that she used the same method in the Cerritos robbery that she always uses, whereby she simply walks in, shows a teller a note asking for money, and leaves. She reportedly has never been armed or shown a teller a weapon, but she does sometimes say that she has an accomplice waiting for her outside.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>How exactly does this constitute &#8220;robbery?&#8221; It sounds more like unusually successful panhandling to me. If banks want to put a stop to this woman&#8217;s &#8220;crime&#8221; spree, I suggest the following approach: on being handed a note asking for money, determine whether the woman has an account with that bank with sufficient funds. If not, tell her &#8220;no&#8221; and call for the next customer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8216;Plain Jane Bandit&#8217; Continues to Rob Banks Despite Unkind Nickname.
