There are crimes that stymy, mystify, and otherwise confound veteran detectives for decades. And then there the crimes that are almost too easy to solve, thanks to the overly helpful, not quite so bright criminals that commit them. Like the would-be bank robber in San Diego who demanded money from a bank teller, but not until after he’d swiped his ATM card, providing the bank with everything needed to identify him.

The 56-year-old California man was sentenced in federal court Tuesday to three years and 10 months in prison for the robbery, the U.S. attorney’s office said (via the Los Angeles Times).

According to the plea agreement, in May 2016 the man approached a teller at a downtown San Diego Wells Fargo branch and swiped his debit card in the card reader. His bank profile popped up on the teller’s screen, perhaps unbeknownst to him, and the teller asked what services he wanted.

He then told the teller — verbally and through a written note — that she was “being robbed” and warned her to not “make a mistake.”

He took $565 and fled. But based on the personal information from his customer profile, which he so helpfully provided, FBI agents and the local police established surveillance around his home and ultimately arrested him.

His good banking habits have earned himself a spot in Consumerist’s “You Have Only Yourself To Blame” Hall of Fame, where he has plenty of company:
