‘Invisible’ Bank Robber Caught in Iran

W460

Iranian police are looking for a phony sorcerer who conned a man into believing he was invisible and could rob banks, the Jam-e Jam newspaper said Thursday.

Customers at a Tehran bank quickly overpowered the deluded robber after he started snatching banknotes from their hands.

Appearing in court, the repentant thief said he paid five million riyals ($625) to a man who gave him some spells and told him to tie them to his arm to become invisible.

"I made a mistake. I understand now what a big trick was played on me," the would-be bank robber was reported as telling the judge.

His name was not released.

They are all idiots in Iran. But they are building nuclear weapons. Imagine if they were smart like you.

as long as the Israelis are blowing them up with computer viruses and picking off their top scientists from the back of mopads in high security areas, they can't be as smart as they think they are...

you guys are ignorant idiots. Iranians are some of the smartest people in the world. instead of being ignorant assholes do a bit of research about iranians. They are the head of the biggest companies and organizations in different parts of the world.
