八十岁的人抢银行，因为外面的生活太贵了

An octogenarian bank robber says he did it because his pension wasn't big enough.

一位八十多岁的银行抢劫犯说，他这么做是因为他的养老金不够多。

Robert Francis Kerbs held up a credit union in Tuscon, Arizona last year, Fox News reports. The 82-year-old had only been out of prison for six months, after serving decades behind bars for previous bank robberies.

据新闻报道，Robert Francis Kerbs 去年在亚利桑那州的图森市抢劫了一个信用合作社。这名82岁的男子因为之前的银行抢劫而服刑数十年，刚刚出狱6个月。

He wasn't wearing a disguise, and told FBI agents he "kind of wanted to get caught" and go back to prison because the US$800 (NZ$1220) he got a month on the pension "is not very much to live on these days".

他没有伪装，并直接告诉联邦调查局特工，他“有点想被抓住”，然后回到监狱，因为他每月800美元(1220新西兰元)的养老金“在这样的日子里已经不够生活了”。

And a retired FBI bank robbery expert said he had a point.

一位退休的联邦调查局银行抢劫案专家说，他说的有道理。

"They really can't make it on the outside," William Rehder told Fox News.

“他们真的无法在外面生存下去，”威廉·雷德(William Rehder)告诉记者。

"He is right - Social Security is probably not enough to keep him going, and he has no prospects for income."

“他是对的——社会保障可能不足以让他生活下去，而且他没有获得收入的希望。”

A judge is yet to decide whether Kerbs, who is showing signs of suffering from dementia, is fit to stand trial.

法官还没有决定Kerbs是否适合出庭受审，因为他有患痴呆症的迹象。
