Lol.

Crime doesn't pay, and apparently - neither does bragging about it.
A Chicago man is facing bank robbery charges after authorities say he called into a Chicago radio station and bragged about the heist. The robbery at a TCF Bank in Chicago last April went unsolved until a bank worker heard the man's call to a popular confessions show. The caller bragged that he and five others tied up employees and got away with $81,000. A bank worker recognized details from the confession as matching the hold-up at her bank and called authorities.
The FBI traced the call to a cell phone belonging to 24-year-old Randy Washington of Dolton. He and another man are now facing federal charges, and authorities are looking for four others.
The caller might want to watch his back until they catch up with the other four.
