Wow this one is deserving of America's Funniest or Dumbest Robber stories.  I wish video was available. Maybe Hollywood will make a movie and Seth Rogan will portrayour Bellagio Villain!! The scenes that led to the Bellagio bandit's downfall have nothing to do with the cool elements of Oceans 11,12 or 13. I'm waiting for 14.

Bragging about a big gambling score with high school buddies over rounds of shots in Colorado. E-mailing pictures to a total stranger — dated and signed "Biker Bandit" with two $25,000 Bellagio chips. Losing $105,000 gambling at the scene of the crime in Las Vegas, but cashing out nearly $209,000 and apparently hoping the casino wouldn't notice. Police say Anthony Carleo's shoddy plan after stealing $1.5 million in chips unfolded like a badly played poker hand.

"At one point I think he asked me, 'What do I do?'" said Matthew Brooks, a poker enthusiast from Washington, D.C., who went to the FBI after trading e-mails and phone calls with Carleo. "And I'm like, 'I don't know what to tell you, man.'"

Carleo, the 29-year-old son of a Las Vegas municipal judge, declined to comment to reporters Friday.

Police say he's the helmeted bandit who entered the Bellagio on Dec. 14, brandished a gun and made off on a motorcycle with the chips in denominations from $100 to $25,000. He was arrested Wednesday, a day after an undercover officer bought four $25,000 chips from him, then offered an invitation — to become part of a crew that would rob casinos, including the Bellagio. Carleo's response to officers: He'd already robbed the place. I can't hold in the laughter. Well I guess it's a good thing. Why should he get away with stealing something that doews not belong to him.
