Nov 18, 2012 Father, Son and Daughter Arrested in Bank Robberies
A father, son and daughter may be responsible for robbing as many as seven banks in two states, according to authorities.
Ronald Scott Catt, 50, and his two children, 20-year-old Hayden and 18-year-old Abby were arrested last week on charges they robbed a credit union in Katy, Texas.
Deputies with the Fort Bend Sheriff’s Office in Texas say the family, which recently moved to the area, could also be responsible for several other robberies in Texas and their native Oregon.
During the Oct. 1 robbery in Texas, two figures, who appear to be Ronald and Hayden Catt, entered the bank in disguises and toting guns before leaving with money and jumping into a getaway car driven by Abby Catt.
The break in the case came when authorities were able to track down the distinctive orange vests the men wore to a local Home Depot. A review of the surveillance tape showed the family purchasing the disguises at the store.
Eric Lundeen told ABC News he knows the Catt family and said they seemed like “really solid community members”.
“He was a single dad. I think he lost his wife and he had the responsibility to take care of his kids and I got to tell you, he was there for them,” Lundeen said.

Wonder if this single Dad will get the same sympathy from the press as the proverbial single Mom.
Billy Mac is a dectecive down in Texas - you know he knows just exactly what the facts is...
Yes, Dad was there for them, let me tell you.
lol
Typical of what’s moving to Texas.
The “kids” were 18 and 20. “Taking care of his kids” my foot! That’s a gang of 3 adults on a crime spree.
And they live in TX, which has one of the lowest unemployment rates in the nation. Jail time for all, I say.
I see a Lifetime movie plot in the near future.
Aw, how sweet. Maybe they can get into one of the new “family” prisons!
There's more cash and the FBI isn't the investigative body.
Single dad? Give me a break.
These are three adult criminals. End of story.
Idiots! This family was supposed to behave like the rest of those “really solid community members” and rob and pillage indirectly through the force of government. They weren't supposed to pull an independent DIY stunt outside of government authorization.
Better than foo stams!

Your post reminds me of the scene in “Pulp Fiction.”
Why not rob a diner?
Yep, at least they had the courage to actually do the stealing themselves instead of having the government do it for them.
I have challenged a lot of liberals who defend wealth distribution with this -
“if you want to take the money out of my wallet, walk on over here and do it”
They usually get offended about the association of thievery to their ideology, and I’ve yet to have someone take me up on it.
