ingenious. I almost want the robber to get away with it, just because it was such a clever heist.

From there, the cook made his watery escape in a creek that dumps out into the Skykomish River. One witness said the robber swam away, but another said he used an inner tube to get away.

I bet that second article was faked. They made it up so that the public won't think they can get away with a robbery if only they put some thought into their crime. That guys in Maui, sipping a Mai Tai, and being serviced by a flock of Hula Girls.

Something like this car chase?

Watch him slow down before the second spike strip (2:00), then watch the car "break down" at the end (3:38).
