When Olympic-hopeful Tom Justice failed to qualify for the games in the 1990s, he decided to use his cycling skills for other things: robbing banks. Justice thought if he couldn’t win medals, he would find other ways to earn respect from people, and he managed to be respected even by detectives.

Between 1998 and 2002, Justice pulled off 26 robberies in various states and evaded the police. He earned the nickname “The Choirboy Bandit” from the FBI, hiding his identity by wearing a baseball hat and bowing his head near surveillance cameras. Unfortunately, Justice botched his final robbery, baffling authorities with his lack of a getaway vehicle.
