now why hasn't anyone else tried that?

Maybe he'll go dressed as an ATM next.

I would laugh except that's likely someone I went to high school with.

Please let the dude be from Mass.

He was pretty smart. A normal person would camouflage themselves with granite counters and pens on chains and those velvet ropes that line the aisles. But this guy went out on a limb. He was going into one of the bank's branches, so he figured, ok....disguise myself as branches. He's a genius.

So how do we know it wasn't a tree disguised as a man? Hmm? Hmm?

Dogwood Day Afternoon is the story of a desperate man (Al Pacino) who robs a bank to pay for his lover's tuition at arborist school.

I just came in here to make a "branch" joke, but I see iconomy's on the job, so I'll be on my way.

The 'going out on a limb' was the joke, the branch part was just filler.

Did he get charged with leafing the scene of a crime?

"Give me the money," he barked. The clerk handed him the cash and shook her head as he left. "What a sap," she said to herself. "I knew he was one shady character when he walked in, but that was so pathetic I'm almost rooting for him."

I can just imagine him lumbering down the street with bags of cash caught on his costume.

If a cat ran up his back and sat on his head, would they call the fire department as well?
