Question 1: When law enforcement tries to ID robbers, they often use nicknames based on the criminal's apperance, modus operandi, of some other physical attribute. A robber who was hitting banks in the L.A. area was nicknamed "The Michael Jackson Bandit," why?
 

 He played Jacko's music on a boombox He had a chimp with him
 He had a pack of loving children following him He wore only one glove


Question 2: Gabriel Anthony Camarena was suspected in at least 22 bank holdups, but it just took a conviction on one of those charges to put him away. Gabriel had the envious nickname of the "Uncle Fester" bandit, due to what fact?
 

 He smelled like the undead He looks like Uncle Fester
 He was creepy  


Question 3: Poor John Anthony Lewis. Maybe it was the taunting, or perhaps the lack of money that drew him to a life of crime. Caught after robbing 16 New Mexico banks, his prominent nose led him to be called the "______ bandit"?
 

 The Pinocchio Bandit The Jimmy Durante Bandit
 The Karl Malden Bandit  


Question 4: What name did police give to a three-man criminal team, who dressed like a biker, a cop, and a construction worker complete with hard-hat?
 

 The Three Stooges The Village People
 The Marx Brothers
