Tom Justice biked to his bank heists. He’d leave his custom-built, orange Steelman road bike unlocked outside, then saunter in and hand the teller a note that said something along the lines of, “I’ve got a gun, give me the money.” 

Then the former Olympic-hopeful track racer would walk out with a plastic bag full of cash, transfer it to his messenger bag, strip down to the cycling kit he wore underneath his street clothes, and ride off unnoticed

Between 1998 and 2002, Justice pilfered from 26 banks in Chicago, San Diego, and Wisconsin

thinking the bills were traceable, he kept a couple as souveniers, and then he put the $20 and $100 bills into paper bags and discarded them in alleys where he knew homeless people would find them. 
He took all the $2 bills and hid them in the bushes outside his apartment for kids who played in the courtyard to discover. 

Most of the cash drawers he was getting in each robbery, had 2-5 thousand dollars. One heist netted 10,274 dollars. He pocketed all the $5s and $1s and left the $20s inside public restrooms and port-a-potties at beaches

in 2002, at 31 years old, Justice was arrested, he spent nine years in federal prison. He now works in a donut shop.
