Crime Blotter: Rob Me Once, Shame on You...

— -- Rob Me Once, Shame On You …

M I A M I — It was déjè vu all over again at the Pan Am Horizon Federal Credit Union.

On the afternoon of Oct. 3, John Papacosta allegedly went to rob the Kendall, Fla., bank — wearing the same sport coat and sunglasses he wore when he robbed the same bank a month earlier, police say.

A teller recognized Papacosta and pushed a silent alarm button, said Judy Orihuela, a spokeswoman for the FBI's Miami office.

"He was just waiting in line so he hadn't made it up [to the counter] yet," she said.

When police arrived and detained Papacosta, they found a toy plastic revolver and a demand note in his pocket, reading "This is a robbery. I am armed. Give me the cash now."

Papacosta was charged with two counts of robbery, stemming from the incident last week and the alleged robbery at the same bank on Sept. 5, when police say he escaped with an undisclosed amount of cash.

"It's not common for bank robbers to go to the same bank," said Orihuela. "But every once in a while you see it."

Bank Robbery the Easy Way

M E S A, Ariz. — For bank robbers in a hurry, try the drive-through teller window.

That's what a robber did at the Wells Fargo bank in Mesa on Oct. 4, escaping with an undisclosed amount of cash.

The man pulled up to the teller window and put a note in the vacuum-tube system.

"The male subject sent a demand in to the teller; she received it and complied," said Mesa Police Detective Tim Gaffney.

After receiving the cash through the vacuum tube, the robber sped off in a red and white sport utility vehicle.

The teller complied despite being protected behind bulletproof glass. She didn't see a weapon or catch sight of the suspect's face, or even the specific make and model of his car.

"Her view was obstructed so she didn't see the vehicle," said Gaffney.

Other Goat Still Missing; Toothless Robber Nabbed

H U T C H I N S O N, Kan. — For those readers concerned about Other Goat, the tiny barnyard animal's fate is still up in the air.

The 5-pound reddish-brown pygmy goat was taken Sept. 11 at the Kansas State Fair, and hasn't been seen since.

Hedrick's Exotic Animal Farm, which owned the animal, hasn't given up hope that she will be returned safe and sound.

But despite a reward offer, no one has reported finding Other Goat.

"We hope she's doing fine," said Sondra Hedrick, co-owner of the Hutchinson facility. "If someone bottle-fed her, she would have been OK."

Police speculated the thief might have stuck Other Goat in a purse or shopping bag and simply walked off. The kid had been displayed in a pen with her two siblings, named "Tough Goat" and "Sissy Goat."

"We hope the new owners knew what they were doing," Hedrick said.

Authorities have made more progress in another recent Crime Blotter case, the robbery of a Wachovia Bank in North Miami Beach last week.

The hold-up deviated from plan when the robber's gun accidentally went off in his pocket. The man was then struck by a van as he ran out of the bank. He lost two gold teeth in the collision before getting up and limping into a waiting getaway car.

FBI officials said they had arrested Charles Edward Jones in connection with the robbery. Jones, 34, was found in a local hotel, nursing his wounds from the heist, said FBI spokeswoman Judy Orihuela.

Investigators said Jones was not injured by the errant gunshot in his pants. They did, however, find the stolen money hidden in the crotch, Orihuela said.

"He was a lucky bank robber," she said.
