Here's a tip from Robbery 101: wearing "crazy pajama bottoms" can hardly be described as inconspicuous criminal attire.

A suspect in a spree of stickups in northern Alachua County on Tuesday, a Fairbanks man was undeniably guilty of committing a fashion faux pas.

After the individual held up a La Crosse convenience store on Tuesday morning, witnesses described him as wearing a peculiar pair of pants with a camouflage pattern.

Unfortunately for this bandit, local law enforcement tracked down his vehicle - leading to a chase that included gun fire from the officers. After losing control of his Geo Tracker, the suspect flipped his vehicle and was pronounced dead at the scene.

While taking money from our moms' purses may be the biggest crime committed by the Editorial Board, we have a hunch wearing memorable clothing to a robbery is like asking for a one-way ticket to prison.

We can't help but wonder why he didn't take more time in picking out his clothes Tuesday morning.

The thought of death must've crossed his mind as he scoured his wardrobe for the perfect pair of pants.

Granted, if he's a crook, it's safe to assume his closest isn't exactly The Rail at Nordstrom.

But if there is a chance the Editorial Board might not make it through the day, we sure as hell are going to rock our Sunday's best - not some rags from a consignment shop.

Rest in peace, "crazy pajama bottoms" man.
