A very polite individual managed to rob a bank in Chicago on Monday by leaving a note in which he promised the establishment to “repay him soon”.
Mohamed Worku was acquitted of a similar crime three days before the event.
Two years ago, he walked into a bank and left with $595 after also showing a note to the employee present. “Give me the money please. Thank you,” he wrote.
He was found about half an hour later, with $100 missing and the note still in his possession.

In court, the suspect’s lawyer argued that even if his client had committed a crime, the fact that he acted without using intimidation or force does not meet the definition of theft provided by law.
The jury validated this interpretation, which allowed the man to be released on Friday.
However, on Monday afternoon, Mohamed Worku entered another bank leaving a new note for the employee. “Give me some money please. I will refund you soon. The bankers give it to me in advance,” it read.
The employee gave him $2,000 before calling the police.
The suspect was arrested at a Target store while shopping for clothing. He was short $200.
He now faces charges of dishonestly taking money, which excludes the use of force or intimidation.
