Summary
Can’t make this story up out of Beltsville, Maryland. A man walks into a pet store, and steals a 3-month-old tuxedo kitten named “Magnolia” and then heads straight to a nearby PNC bank to use the kitten as a distraction to rob the bank. We go over some of the most absurd attempted bank heists from around the country, including would be robbers using flower bouquets, others phoning in the amount they’d like to be waiting for them when they arrived at the bank, or how about a man turning to a life of crime because he’d rather go to jail than go home to his wife.

| 0:06.0 | Hey there, folks. |
| 0:07.1 | It is Thursday, July 16th, and how is it possible that a bank robbery could be adorable? |
| 0:15.8 | Well, when the accomplice in that robbery is a three-month-old tuxedo kitten by the name of magnolia. And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and T.J. This was a bit of a crime spree by this bank robber. Yes. Steals a cat and then goes try to steal some money. Yes. And I love one of the headlines. Everyone had some fun with the puns on this one. Give you some options here. What do you like? Yeah, you have feline felon or kitty literally, |
| 0:42.9 | literally Rob's Bank or the perfect crime. You got cat burglar. I also saw one where the only thing |
| 0:50.2 | tuxedos, oh sorry, Magnolia, is accused of stealing is everyone's hearts. |
| 0:55.8 | The, what is it, the shelter where the, not the shelter, but the, what am I saying, the pet |
| 1:00.9 | store where the cat was taken from, they are still trying to get the cat adopted, and they said |
| 1:07.5 | her life of crime is over. And also that she was looking for a law-abiding citizen to be a forever home. Anyway, you all, this is, look, this is a crime story. But man, it's giving us a little laugh and a little relief. And ropes kind of, to the point. Yeah, I didn't talk to you about this. I know we're just getting here and I'm a little tired, not feeling great, and maybe I'm not thinking clearly. But I wanted to call about adopting this cat. |
| 1:34.2 | The cat is one of the cutest cats I've ever seen. I want to call about this cat. I'm sure somebody's gotten the cat by now because it became famous. We might need to place a call. Yeah, I would be on board with this cat. |
| 1:45.9 | This cat is adorable, a black and white tuxedo cat. |
| 1:49.1 | That's why I almost called Magnolia Tuxedo. |
| 1:51.9 | Apologies to Magnolia. |
| 1:53.6 | But she is absolutely adorable, as in one of the cutest cats I've ever seen. |
| 1:59.1 | Yeah, and it's a bank robber. |
| 2:00.6 | Because as a story goes in Maryland this week, this is a little...

| 2:21.0 | That's right. So he actually takes a kitten from the nearby pet store. And apparently, |
| 2:26.6 | according to the workers there at the pet store, he had gone in every single day for a week, |
| 2:32.7 | went straight to Magnolia, and would just look at the cat. So he obviously |
| 2:37.1 | was either devising his plan. He had an affection for the cat and he couldn't afford her. |
| 2:43.4 | Or maybe he was just, I don't know, staring at her because she's so cute. Maybe that would, |
