Illinois Car Dealership Owner Has Side Hustle As Bank Robber

I don't think this Illinois bank robber is detail-oriented, considering all the mistakes on this job to get himself arrested.

Illinois Car Dealership Owner Has Side Hustle As Bank Robber

First of all, I would think if you owned a car dealership there would be no need for a side hustle. Probably not enough time earlier. This guy owns a used lot in New Lenox. That's a nice area and that market is big right now. Plenty of money to be made. Apparently, that's not good for him. He got greedy and wanted more. Maybe, he watched too many heist shows. The man wanted one big quick score. It didn't go as he had planned.

He started with $224 but drops $64 on the way out. The grand total earnings for the crime is $160. He could've made more doing Door Dash or something like that.
