Nun News

Of course, stealing is bad. Bad. Bad. Bad.
But this recent bank robbery in Chicago caught my interest not in the style of robbery but in the report:

"Police are searching for two suspects who robbed a Chicago bank dressed as nuns, in a scene reminiscent of the Ben Affleck movie The Town. According to Fox Orlando, the pair, dressed in black nun costumes and with rubber masks on their faces, robbed the TCF bank Sunday afternoon shortly before closing time.  
The same costumes were featured in a bank robbery scene in "The Town". Police did not disclose how much money was taken, but said no one was hurt in the incident."http://www.vibe.com/posts/today-smh-news-bank-robbers-dressed-nuns-get-loot

You see that?  Not the whole crime deal. Not the uncanny timing of the robbery. But this...

The same costumes were featured in a bank robbery scene in "The Town"
There was a time when that sentence would have read "The same costumes are those worn by Catholic nuns" but, alas, no longer.
And that is a bit of crime too.
