This Idiot Finally Got Busted // The McArthur Wheeler Robbery Story
About this episode
In 1995, McArthur Wheeler robbed two Pittsburgh banks in broad daylight without a mask, believing that smearing lemon juice on his face would render him invisible to security cameras, a misunderstanding based on the logic of invisible ink. Wheeler, who was not delusional but simply profoundly mistaken, was shocked to be arrested later that evening after his clear image appeared on local news, stating "But I wore the juice".
