Grand Theft Clippy

What began as a routine morning at Minnwest Bank in Redwood Falls would soon become one of the most peculiar incidents in local law enforcement history. At precisely 4:27 PM, security cameras captured the entrance of a suspect whose actions would leave investigators more puzzled than concerned.

The suspect's entrance immediately drew attention, though not for the reasons typical of bank robberies. Surveillance footage shows the individual stumbling through the front doors, nearly losing balance in the process. What followed was less of a heist and more of an impromptu slapstick performance.

Perhaps most baffling was the suspect's choice of target. While tellers prepared to comply with the traditional demands for cash, the perpetrator instead focused entirely on office supplies.

The suspect's hasty exit was captured by street cameras, showing them discarding the trench coat and disappearing into pedestrian traffic. Local law enforcement's investigation continues, though with notably less urgency than typical bank robbery cases.

While the incident has become something of a local legend, dubbed by residents as "The Case of the Clumsy Bandit," it remains technically unsolved. Bank employees have since implemented a strict "paperclips under lock and key" policy, though most suspect this is more for humor than security.
