*The Daily Mail*, June 19, 2013, that a drunk robber held up a petrol (gas)
in St Austell, Cornwall, UK. But since he was wearing a clear plastic bag
over his head, he was arrested days later when an officer recognized him
from the surveillance video.

The bag-wearing robber, Jamie Neil, 41, and his accomplice, Gareth Tilley,
20, were at home when they decided to rob the station in September last
year. They both grabbed ‘the nearest thing’ they could find to use as a
disguise. Tilley wrapped a scarf around his head but Neil used a
see-through plastic bag, which meant his face was captured on video.
Officers later studied footage of the robbery and an off duty officer
recognized Neil in the street days later.

Last week, Neil was sentenced to two years in jail for the robbery. His
accomplice, Tilley, had already pleaded guilty last November and sentenced
to two years in prison for his part in the robbery.
Tilley actually was no brighter than Neil. During the robbery, Tilley had
pointed his mobile phone at the lone female counter worker, pretending the
phone was a gun. But his plan backfired when the phone's keypad lit up.
The female worker realized it wasn't a gun and pressed an alarm. Neil then
wrestled with the employee before headbutting her and fleeing with several
bottles of alcohol.
Here's what Jamie Neil looks like without the plastic bag:
