@squablow: So, how long does it take, on average, for retina detachment via back-of-the-head beating?

He needs to have attached himself to the front of an 18-wheeler, like the dude did at the gas station--he rolled quite a ways until the troopers flagged the driver down.
No one would think of looking for him there.

As much fun as it is to imagine an old man in a wheelchair robbing a bank, anyone who pulls an armed robbery deserves to be beaten on the back of their head with a rod until their retinas detatch. I highly doubt this guy is actually crippled (or even old for that matter)

Hmm... If we can make V8-powered barstools [jalopnik.com] , can someone shove a Prius motor in a wheelchair? Also, it would be very convenient if you could run those barstools on Everclear.

You would think someone would have thought to look out a window after he left, to see him waiting two minutes for the electric platform to unfold out of his van.

I bet someone held the door for him on the way out.
"Hey, robbery or no robbery, the guy's in a wheelchair!"

$10 bucks says he used the chair to fake them out. I bet the cops find the chair ditched somewhere...

If a 70 year old man in a wheelchair can rob a bank and get away with it, then they don't deserve to be in buisness.

All I can think about is Johnny Knoxville in his old man costume. It would be the ultimate disguise..
