Underpants Fail to Mask Robber's Identity

OSLO (Reuters) - A drunken Norwegian who pulled a pair of underpants over
his face and robbed a post office was awakened by police two days later to
find he had tipped them off about his identity.

The 47-year-old drunk charged into the post office and handed over a note
saying ``This is a robbery,'' the local newspaper Bergensavisen said on
Friday.

But his wife's name and personal details were on the back of the demand
note, the newspaper said.

The man told a court he did not remember the robbery, but admitted he had
a suspicion of having been up to no good when he woke up and saw a picture
of the be-knickered robber in the newspaper and found a large wad of money
in his living room.
