How to survive Yosemite in July
Amy Beddows 5:26 p.m., June 18
Chula Vista police caught a Wells Fargo bank robber red-handed — almost.
The robbery took place at the Third Avenue branch at around 2 p.m. on May 13, according to a press release. Witnesses said the suspect, who claimed to have a weapon, demanded money and fled in a gold-colored Toyota Camry with an undisclosed amount of cash.
Shortly thereafter, a CVPD officer saw the car a few blocks from the scene. He stopped the driver without incident and spotted the evidence all over the male suspect: the 48-year-old San Diego resident was covered in ink — a result of the exploding dye packs hidden in the stolen money.
The suspect booked in the Chula Vista jail.

Wow, shades of "Raising Arizona". Surprising that the crooks don't just stick the cash into their pockets instead of demanding a bag. Greedy bastards.

"Raising Arizona" was a fantastic show Refried.....the coen brothers really hit a home run with that one.
You know how you can tell if something touches you RG-you remember where/when it happened.
I saw "Raising Arizona" at the Loma Theater in (I think) 1987.
