The big dummies. Why didn't they get out of the country before the theft was discovered?

Yeah that's the first thing I would do too, after getting my hands on $6 million that way... go to West Virginia... :slap:

Taking turns at the wheel they could have been in 'Mehico' in 24 hours, then on a plane to Brazil or Argentina shortly afterwards and volila. But no. I guess their dreams didn't match mine, LOL!

 

[JanetElaine]

That's so funny, JE. I thought the same thing. I was living vicariously through them two. Busted, huh? Guess that guy is going to have to deal with them consequences now like quoted in his Myspace. I wonder how much they spent and on what?

You know what they say about 'great minds'.

I'm wondering that too, also who's van were they driving, etc... I hope we'll hear some details... I read there's supposed to be a press conference Monday, so hopefully then!

He's just brilliant. Right where you would go after heisting a few million. Back home to mom.

Why would you go to west Virginia of all places? I think they could of got away with this if they would of been alot smarter about it .

Well atleast they can say they were millionaires for a little while

Well his mom lives in Youngstown as well, and it was said that she was travelling with the pair (and his younger brother, although noone but the local news covered any of that). So it's not like he went home to mommy, lol. But yeah. It's anywhere from smart... too bad... lol.

I hope that you are kidding with the "too bad." We all pay when people decide to steal. So, I'm glad that they were caught.

OK, like I said in another thread, I'm on migraine meds. So, if this doesn't make sense, forgive me...

Whenever I hear the number 6 million, all I can think about is Steve Austin, The Six Million Dollar Man. Maybe, these emos know about an astronaut who will die without cyborg implants? Maybe the operation they're talking about is to fix this guy. Now in my head I'm hearing: "Col. Steve Austin, a man barely alive. Gentleman we can rebuild him, we have the technology. We can make better than he was before. Better... Stronger...Faster..."

Sorry, is my 70s showing? I used to LOVE that show, and I thought Lee Majors was so hot. I was just a kid at the time, but that all just seemed so awesome to me. I'm sure that it would take a LOT more than $6m to actually accomplish anything like that, but it would be worth it to have a crime-fighting ex-astronaut running around making that cool sound, wouldn't it?

 

[hipmamajen]

Ooh, I found it! You can hear that cool "bionic" sound HERE. Awesome!

I return you to your regular discussion. Thanks for bearing with me!

Mamajen, I am sorry about your migraines, but I have to say I find you completely funny. 70's and all that. Lee Majors. I remember him being married to Farrah.

nanandjim, although I can't speak for Janet Elaine I understood what she meant. I don't think any of us here would go rob an armed truck or actually condone what these young folks did, but when ya hear a figure like that in the millions and nobody was physically harmed you kind of daydream what it would be like to have it. The money that is. Sort of rooting for the common man although for me anyway I wouldn't in reality hide these kids out or anything.

Sorry, Filly. I think that you mean the common thief, not the common man. I was brought up to work for my money, not steal someone else's. I do understand the glamorized Hollywood version of Bonnie and Clyde.

I think, in reality, that Bonnie and Clyde killed at least one security guard and that's when there was a price tag on their heads. If they hadn't murdered anyone, I think that they would have been okay. Hollywood spins it in a way that you forget what these criminals actually did and you find yourself hoping that they will somehow escape...

I see what you're saying, Filly. We're just kind of living vicariously through them, not that any of us condone stealing. We're just looking at the romantic aspect of it, or the "stick it to the man" side of it.

I personally don't think we're hurting anything or anyone. Just some harmless fantasies

This here's the story 'bout Billy Joe & Bobbi Sue....

Two young lovers with nothing better to do...

Than sit around the house, get high and watch the tube...

Here's what happened when they decided to cut loose...

--good song--Steve Miller Band

 

[Peter Hamilton]

As descendents of great grandparents who hid out Bonnie and Clyde for $50, I also hope they get away with it, in a way.

--Then you should be very ashamed and embarassed that your great-grandparents did such a thing--Bonnie and Cylde were responsible for the murders of nine people, mostly lawmen

--It is a great film but Warren Beatty knew he could not tell the real truth about Cylde being such a sadistic killer, leaving nine law officers dead in his murderous wake

WTH?? Who the heck are you to say she should be ashamed and embarrassed of what her great grandparents did?? In what way is txsvicki responsible for the behavior of a relative, let alone one so far back in the past?

Give me a break.

Before leaving with their cat and dog, Boyd and Dillon stopped to put the next month's rent in their landlord's mailbox, much to her surprise.
"If I was going to steal $7 million, that would not be one of my concerns," said Cookie Bowman, who lives on the house's lower floor.
She didn't read her mail until three days after the robbery. Tucked between the bills and junk mail was a plastic bag containing cash and a one-word note that read: "SORRY."
Bowman doesn't know what the apology was for. They were perfect tenants, paying the rent on time, not playing loud music or throwing parties, and Dillon would even haul her trash cans back from the curb.
