BEAVERTON, Ore. - File this one under "stupid robber tricks." Police say Knute Falk remembered to bring a loaded gun, a bag to cart off his cash and a bandana to cover his face when he went to rob a Bank of American in Beaverton.

But then he'd forgotten a crucial piece of any heist — a getaway car, parked in close proximity. His own car was several blocks away, reports said.
So Falk, 54, demanded car keys from Steven Sturtevant, a bank customer.
"When he took the keys, he said, 'I will leave them under the front seat,' " a puzzled Sturtevant told The Oregonian newspaper. "He was very polite."
