Bonsai 'Artist' Robs NH Bank
New Hampshire police are looking for a man who robbed a bank disguised as a tree. He used duct tape to attach branches to himself to create camouflage.

Inspiration
The funniest part of this story for me is that he used no weapon but they gave him the money! I see a similar pattern here... people will automatically throw money at trees!
Hey, that's how I can make these babies start paying off! I'll pin a "stick-up" note and an empty bag to my bonsai and shove them through the door of the bank. A few minutes later, reach in and grab the tree and the loot. A quick restyle at the hideout and we're in the clear (No officers, the tree you're looking for is a formal upright. This one is obviously a cascade). The catch is that I would just end up blowing the money on more trees... sigh. Mike ![]() |

And they say money doesn't grow on trees... Guess the tree needed more green. It proves the love of money is root of all evil. Hope he doesn't branch out into robbing convenience stores... Okay, I'll leaf this topic alone.
