Women Are Moving into a Male Domain: Robbing Banks
A woman dressed for success in a pink blouse, brown skirt and heels got an undisclosed amount of cash from a teller at a Charter One bank In Toledo, Ohio, on Tuesday. The robber, armed with handguns, drove off in her own getaway car.
The “Bad Hair Bandit”—named for her unattractive wigs—hit a Spokane, Wash., bank on May 9 and may have been involved in up to a dozen heists in Washington State, sheriff’s spokesman Dave Reagan said in a press release.
A more fashionable ring of at least six little old ladies has earned the nickname of “Mad Hatters” for the head gear they wear while robbing banks, picking pockets and using stolen credit cards. One bank alone estimated it had lost at least $200,000 at the hands of the hatters.
“It’s not an epidemic, but it’s definitely a trend,” says Rosemary Erickson, a forensic sociologist in Florida. She sees the trend as tied to the weak economy, and thinks women often resort to robbery because they need the money for practical purposes, whereas some men may commit the crime for the thrill.
“It’s a safe robbery for women. There’s a sense that no physical harm will occur. You pass a note, maybe you menace that a gun is present, the teller slides back money and off you go,” he said.
Now there’s a statistic not often used as a metric in economic trends – women bank robbers up 5.4 percent in 2003 to 7.08 percent last year.

This gave me a jolt of cognitive dissonance: ““It’s a safe robbery for women. There’s a sense that no physical harm will occur. You pass a note, maybe you menace that a gun is present, the teller slides back money and off you go,” /// Menacing with a gun maintains a sense of no physical harm huh? I much prefer the media pushes the idea that turning to prostitution “empowers” a womans sexual identity. Just saw that floated last night again in the context of why current female singers have stage acts that mimic the stripTEASE acts of yore. All these nice gospel and god fearing girls presenting they privates in public. They are just the type that would default to robbing banks==because you know it is such a safe thing to do.
And the beat goes on…….
If it walks like a female bank robber, and talks like a female bank robber, it might be a soprano voiced male disguised like a woman to throw the cops off.

“women often resort to robbery because they need the money for practical purposes, whereas some men may commit the crime for the thrill.”
Yeeesss. Even in major felonies, women are so much better than men.
Now that’s a “Money Honey” in the pic! Yowza!
