Easy come easy go. Austrian police arrested a 28-year-old man who robbed the Salzburg branch of Austrian savings bank Sparkasse where he was known as a customer. The APA news agency reported the Austrian man held up the bank at gunpoint Monday, escaping on foot with a haul of $20,070. After being identified as a customer by a bank employee, the man was detained by police at a late-night bar in Klagenfurt, where by the time of his arrest Tuesday, he had guzzled five bottles of champagne in the company of several bar hostesses. APA said the thief did not resist arrest.
