The Wheaton Bandit
I started to watch "Bethenny Getting Married?" because I like "The Real Housewives of New York City" [Yes, a guilty pleasure! And be prepared to discuss, in a future post, what a Chicago version would look like], but it was quite awful. I don't care about Bethenny's wedding or baby or whatever enough to watch an entire series on all that. So I flipped to CNBC's "American Greed" which featured The Wheaton Bandit.
If you know about, or have been to, Wheaton, then the word "crime" wouldn't pop into your head. But this bandit got away with a lot of money from various banks in Geneva, Glen Ellyn, and other nice areas out in the western burbs. You can see a slideshow of what he was up to at the CNBC site.
The episode aired tonight, but if you want to watch it online, go to Hulu. It's the second part of the show, after the meth identity thieves. But do it soon. I'm afraid that they might yank it since it originally aired a few years ago, and I can't find it elsewhere on this month's schedule.
