You have to give one crook in Rome, Italy credit for ingenuity. The bearded thief is causing banks and cops a major headache, after getting away with scads of money when he robbed some local "financial institutions" recently. Usually, bank robberies aren't huge headline makers, but what sets this crafty criminal apart from his peers is the novel manner in which he committed his deplorable actions.
Instead of using the normal, "standard" way of holding up banks- you know, with a gun?- he opted instead to hypnotize the bank tellers and cashiers. According to one frazzled female teller, the enterprising bandit walked up to her counter and demanded that she look directly into his eyes. Apparently, he managed to get her into a deep trance, so that the mesmerized babe would hand him a huge stash of cash, without a fight.
Of course, by the time she awakened from her hypnotic state and realized, with horror, that all the money in her till was goners, it was too late. The bank robber did the same thing to at least one other cashier, who also became putty in his hands.
As of this writing, the clever lawbreaker is still at large.
