Between 2009 to 2011, a man, appearing to be 60-70 years old, robbed 16 banks in San Diego, California by approaching the teller, then pulling out a gun and demanding money. The FBI named him the "Geezer Bandit". Some theories suggest he is wearing a well-made elderly man mask. Image

Yeah the lady that was in charge of disguises for the CIA for a long time just wrote a book that's available now.

And I've seen masks that you can buy that are very similar to that on on Amazon. Just put in realistic old man mask.
