Deaf Bank Robber's Unusual Heist

In August 1995, Klaus Schmidt attempted a routine bank robbery in Berlin, armed with a pistol and demanding money. However, what set this heist apart was Schmidt's peculiar behavior. Bank employees noticed something was amiss when Schmidt responded oddly during the robbery, revealing that he was deaf. An employee had offered Schmidt a bag, to which he replied, "You're damn right, it's a real gun!"

Seizing the opportunity, one employee discreetly triggered the bank's alarm. Despite the blaring sirens and approaching police, Schmidt remained surprisingly composed, occasionally issuing threats. The police swiftly apprehended him without much resistance. Adding a twist to the story, Schmidt later tried to sue the bank, alleging exploitation of his disability.
