"Obama Robber" Holds Up Austrian Banks

Austrian authorities are looking for a repeat bank robber who dons an Obama mask when making his daring getaway. His most recent holdup was Thursday in Handenberg, a small town in northwest Austria. The presidential parallel made off with 10,000 euros ($13,000), according to the BBC.

Local authorities can rule out one suspect – Obama himself – because the thief speaks in the local Austrian dialect.

The masked man is a habitual robber who's struck six times since (coincidentally) November 2008, the month Obama was elected to the White House. But he reportedly didn't don the disguise of the prez until December 2009. An Austrian newspaper reports the robber used to wear a generic “old man” mask before swapping it for the U.S. head of state.
