Penitent Pen Pusher?
Practice certainly didn't make perfect for Barbara S Joyner. On hearing that the robber of a bank in Callahan, Florida, beat a hasty retreat in a yellow car, the FBI visited Joyner at home. Of course, it could have been coincidence that she also had a yellow car. And maybe there is a limited selection of notepads to be had in Callahan, thus explaining why the note used for the robbery came from a pad exactly the same as one found in Joyner's home. FBI credulity was stretched beyond breaking point, however, when they uncovered several hold up notes written on the same pad. Joyner said that she had written these notes for practice but that she was not guilty of the Callahan robbery; an innocence she persisted in proclaiming, even when the FBI found bank-wrapped bundles of notes.
Would-be bank robbers, please take note.
