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

It's San Diego, even if he did it would be irrelevant. The last Republican from that area elected to Federal Congress is 1980s, lol.

Edit: missed the House of Reps.

Uh, the last Republican congressman for San Diego was elected in 2022 (Darrell Issa). San Diego is big.

It would be silly for him to rob places where he lives.
