KENTWOOD, Mich. – Police in Michigan say a man who held up a gas station left behind a major clue — a piece of paper bearing a name and address. Police said they went to the address and arrested a 42-year-old suspect. The holdup took place Tuesday at a Speedway station in the Grand Rapids suburb of Kentwood.

Police told The Grand Rapids Press the robber told the station clerk he had a gun. He appeared to be holding a weapon beneath a piece of paper.

After getting cash, the man dropped the paper and ran when the clerk made a move toward him.

Officers said the address on the paper was for a Grand Rapids apartment. They arrested the suspect when he arrived about an hour after the robbery.

The gun turned out to be a homemade fake.
 
I like the one where a robber asked for cash and then cigarettes. The clerk gave the robber the cash but asked to see his ID for the cigarettes. The robber showed his driver's license, got the cigarettes, and then left. The police picked him up at his house five minutes later. :)
