Darth Vader is currently wanted in Long Island for robbing a bank at gun point last week, according to the NY Daily News - "The customer thought it might have been a joke, and not a serious attempt at a robbery," said Suffolk County police Detective Sgt. William Lamb. But Darth wasn't kidding - and he wasn't going to be stopped by a non-Jedi Knight. He won a "shoving match" against the incredulous customer before using his piece to order him to the floor, Lamb said. And his weapon was no joke. He was carrying a pistol instead of a lightsaber. Cops released a surveillance camera image yesterday showing Darth at the teller counter, loading bills into a bag, while the customer cowers on the floor. The fake Darth made a quick-footed getaway, and the bank was still checking its drawers late yesterday to figure out how large his take was, Lamb said.” No doubt the bank wasn’t the only one “checking its drawers” after the robbery.”A lot of robbers use force. This one used the Force. A bandit decked out in a Darth Vader costume strolled into a Long Island bank… and walked out with a wad of cash. The villain looked ready for Halloween, wearing the "Star Wars" scoundrel's signature mask and sweeping black cape. He lost some authenticity points for a pair of camouflage pants. The get-up struck one customer as so funny that he started joshing with the Darth Robber after he strode into the Chase bank in Setauket.

He's obviously not a 'wars fan, otherwis he'd be wearing black pants; not tactical cammo pants.
