We’re just guessing this bank robber (shown below, on a security tape from a Wells Fargo bank in Washington) doesn’t appreciate her nickname:
BUTTE – The FBI is investigating whether a Montana bank robbery is related to at least 18 bank robberies in Washington and Oregon attributed to the “bad hair bandit.”
A woman wearing a short, dark-haired wig robbed the Bank of Butte on Thursday, getting away with an undisclosed amount of cash. The robber implied she had a gun.
Butte-Silver Bow County Sheriff John Walsh tells the Montana Standard the FBI is looking into whether the bad hair bandit is involved. An FBI spokeswoman wouldn’t comment.
The FBI’s website says the bad hair bandit robs banks by passing a note to the teller and claiming that she has a gun. She wears a variety of unattractive wigs during the robberies.
A $10,000 reward is offered for information leading to her arrest.

I sure hope its not the bank I have an account with! I no longer live in Butte but I kept an account there open. Can you tell me which bank was robbed? If it was fine do I need to worry about my money?
