Hook 'em!

Here’s something you don’t see everyday: A skinny lady in her early to mid-20s stuck up the Wachovia Bank at 8045 Mesa Dr. close to 1pm today. “It is believed that the suspect entered the bank and demanded cash. She fled the scene on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash,” says the Austin Police Department’s Public Information Office.

“Please note the suspect is wearing a white baseball cap with a longhorn insignia on the front,” the release continues. We knew tuition was expensive these days, but gosh! Times are tough all over.
