SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A San Francisco man may
want to consider a career change after he was arrested for a
string of bank robberies because he left his resume and
receipt with his name on it at the scene of the crime.
Police nabbed convicted bank robber Scot Alan Beane, 37,
by tracking him down using an old address on the resume he
inadvertently dropped at one of his alleged heists.
It also didn't help matters that Beane was allegedly intoxicated
during the robberies, according to the San Francisco
Chronicle on Monday. Beane now faces charges of robbing
four banks of more than $13,000.
"Here's the story -- you shouldn't drink or take drugs and
drive," San Francisco police Lt. Bruce Marovich told the
Chronicle. " You shouldn't rob banks and do the same thing.
That's what he was doing."
Beane's luck started to unravel after robbing a downtown bank
on March 19 when he dropped a piece of paper of the floor
which turned out to be a Western Union money-transfer receipt
with his name on it, the newspaper said.
Thing's got worse five days later after he robbed another area
bank and left behind a resume which gave his name and
former address in Massachusetts where he had served a
five-year prison term for bank robbery, according to the
Chronicle.
Still, Beane may not be the most hapless bank robber in the
Bay Area. In Oakland, police found an old demand note in the
car of a man who was stopped for a routine traffic stop in
1997, the newspaper said.

"I have not failed. I've just found
10,000 ways that won't work."
