It would be like Duck, Duck, Goose...

$20 for you, $20 for you, dye pack for you! [boom]

Sorry Robin Hood... no matter what your intentions are, you still can't rob banks.

The bus driver ratted!

Throw him out and let someone else drive us the the store, the crazy guys buying!

"Deputies were also able to get some money back from the remaining passengers." Only some of the money? Can they refuse?

P.S. - You *can* rob banks without repercussion, ask Wall Street.

I think this is a feel good story - up to the moment of arrest.

The inevitable fate of all modern-day Robin Hoods.

I like your way of thinking, Somebody. I want to walk into a bank with a mask and demand a "Bailout". I will be armed to the teeth with mortgage modification papers...

I sure as hell would be telling the cops it was my money and that the bum gave me nothing. How could they prove it wasn't....unless you were unluck enough to receive the lucky dye pack.

Reminds me of the "Our Gang" comedy where the guy splits candy with his pardner. "One for me, one for you" (gives one to each), Two for you, two for me (gives one to pard, two to himself), "three for you, three for me (gives one to pard, three to himself)...
