Well, with the economy the way it is, I’m not surprised the crime isn’t even higher than it is, honestly.

Over 90% of bank robberies are commited by men. Some people think the number of females commiting robbery is on the rise nation wide.

They fixed it. However, I don’t think “busted” is a word. :(

FEMALE bank robber. Why not just bank robber? Is “bank robber” inherently masculine?
