California may excel at a lot of things - including plastic surgery and effete rioting following NBA titles -- but it also produces an alarming number of stupid bank robbers. The latest is 48-year-old Laura Jane Murray, who tried to rob a Union Bank in Davis...

Police say she arrived at the bank around noon and handed the teller a note demanding money. She received her bounty and then fled to her car in the parking lot. But that's when she discovered she'd locked her keys in the car, which is considered a professional no-no in the bank robbing industry, since it tends to take precious time away from one's getaway.

So she grabbed something from a nearby delivery truck and tried to bash open a window. Yet Lady Murray apparently failed to keep up with her gym membership -- or just prefers a leisurely approach to felony robbery.

Either way, she was still trying to get into her car when police arrived.

This wasn't the first time Murray robbed a bank. She was arrested July 13 after a robbery in Oroville. But because she had a wicked staph infection at the time, she was taken to a hospital, then released for unknown reasons. 

She'll now be charged with two counts of bank robbery, all because she preferred to watch reruns of Top Chef rather than commit to her shoulder press regimen.

Let that be a lesson to you, aspiring robbers.
