TORONTO (Reuters) - A Canadian bank robber, who politely presents a hold-up note on a recipe card, has hit 29 banks in four months, police said on Thursday.

The unidentified man is the main suspect behind two bank heists in Toronto on Wednesday and 27 other robberies in the region since August.

The suspect waits his turn in line and, once at the teller, quietly makes his intentions known on a recipe card. He has never shown a gun.

30 years old, usually wears a baseball cap and sometimes sunglasses.

"They're (the police) very confident something will happen shortly," said Toronto police spokeswoman Wendy Drummond. "They're pulling out all the stops here," she said.

She said the new confidence stems from better views of the suspect on surveillance tapes of his latest robberies.

Police declined to say how much money the man, dubbed the "Recipe Card Bandit" by media, has stolen in the robberies.

The Canadian Bankers Association offered a reward of C$10,000 (4,829 pounds) for information leading to an arrest, a move only used twice in the past six years.

This guys hit 29 banks, and look at the measley reward, no wonder no-ones grassed him up!

A mate of mine decided to rob himself for insurance purposes . his carefully prepared plan was to sneak out in the dead of night and break a window on his VW then claim for the damage and the items that were "taken" (laptop,nikon camera etc).

He creeps out after 1am armed with a ball hammer and gives the window on his motor an almighty smack ,the hammer bounces back almost breaking his f'ucking wrist ,the shaft on the hammer breaks and the head hits him on the chin ,he falls to the floor slightly dazed meanwhile the alarm in the car parked next to his goes off and lights in neighbouring houses start going on and his car window is STILL in one piece :laugh:

He drags himself up off the pavement and stumbles back up his garden path , sneaking round to the back of his house as he doesn't want anyone to see him going back indoors.

15 minutes later there's a knock on his front door ,it's the cops :wwww

.Apparently a prowler/car thief has been spotted sneaking into his back garden :laugh:

He then has to help the cops search the bushes and shed in his back garden for the said car thief , naturally they couldn't find him. As they were leaving one of the cops ask's "what happened to your chin" (which by now was twice it's normal size due to the blow from the hammer ) ,he replies "the wife woke up and gave me a dig with her elbow because I wouldn't get up and investigate what was going on outside " as the cops left one mumbled to his partner "he should have sent his missus , she's obviously harder than him"
.Humiliated my mate went to bed

The next day he says to me "I don't think I was cut out for a life of crime " :laugh:
