IS this the world's unluckiest bank robber?
David Maksimik, 59, not only bungled his getaway he even ended up calling police to the home where he'd stashed his haul, according to US media reports.
Connecticut police claim Mr Maksimik robbed the People's United Bank on Old Kings Highway north, in Darien, with a fake grenade strapped to his waist and a gun on January 29.
He reportedly escaped, but then crashed his getaway vehicle into another car.
The Associated Press reports the hapless Mr Maksimik needed to hail a bus, then a taxi, before eventually calling his sister to pick him up.
But the Connecticut Post reports when Mr Maksimik finally made it home, he found his roommate dead and called emergency services.
Police responding to the suicide say they found bank money totalling $US3745 ($5378) inside a bag on Mr Maksimik's bed and arrested him.
Mr Maksimik appeared before a US federal magistrate in Bridgeport yesterday. He was held without bond at the North Ave jail pending a hearing next week.
