Taking Environmentalism Too Far

Ok, this is just too much. Respect for the environment is one thing, but dressing up as a tree to rob a bank is a step too far,

MANCHESTER, N.H. - Leaf it to New Hampshire, where a bank branch was held up by a man disguised as a tree.

Just as the Citizen Bank branch opened Saturday morning, a man walked in with leafy boughs duct-taped to his head and torso, and robbed the place.

"He really went out on a limb," police Sgt. Ernie Goodno said Sunday.

Police said the leafy man didn't saying anything about having a weapon, just demanded cash, and was given an undisclosed amount.

In spite of the foliage, the man was recognized and subsequently arrested. One wonders if he had a wooden expression when they took him into custody.
