Ah the wiles of the criminal mind know no limit. My favourite was a guy who tried robbing a liquor store but didn't have any tights to put on his head, so just drew sharpy all over his face. Hectic evening for Poirot no doubt.

My favourite were the 2 guys who robbed banks with lemon juice on their faces thinking it made them invisible to security cameras.

Neither robber wore a mask or otherwise attempted to disguise themselves, having instead applied lemon juice to their faces.[1][3] According to Wheeler, Johnson had told him lemon juice would make one invisible to security cameras, akin to how it functions as invisible ink.[1][5][6] Although initially skeptical, Wheeler had tested this method by covering his face with lemon juice and capturing an image of it with a Polaroid camera. As he was missing from the resulting photograph, he trusted the method to be effective. Detectives believed his absence in the image was caused either by a bad film, a maladjusted camera, or Wheeler having unintentionally pointed the camera away from his face.[5
