Apparently true story from AP:
ATLANTA - The FBI (news - web sites) is seeking help in nabbing a man who robbed an Atlanta bank dressed as a woman on Friday.
Witnesses and investigators think the suspect was a man dressed as a woman, said Special Agent Gregory Jones of the federal agency's Atlanta office. The 6-foot-3 suspect wore dark glasses, a long black wig and a tan trench coat accessorized with a white scarf.
The man apparently walked into the lobby of Wachovia Bank, 3019 Buford Highway, and gave a note to a teller that said he was armed and demanded money.
The man left after the teller gave him a bag of money.
It wasn't the first time a cross-dressing bandit tried to hold up a Georgia bank: In September 2003, a mustachioed man wearing a flowered dress and a floppy hat was caught after robbing a bank in Rome, Ga.

I wonder when the poliice started keeping track of fashion accessories? Is there a section in the FBI crime database for crossdressing criminals?
I can see it now... They catch this guy and sentence him to 2 years for robbery and an additional 5 years for poor fashion sense!
It's not nice to mess with the fashion police!
LOL!
