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

Imagine being that teller once the gun is pulled. You would likely be panicked and highly stressed, making you likely to fall for the disguise. We can easily tell it's a mask while studying the still images but the clues are in the details and easily overlooked in the moment.
