BRISTOW, OK (KOKI/CNN) - 

A man walked into a Walmart and walked out with $75,000 in cash.

Police said he didn't threaten anybody. He just pretended to work for Loomis "and picked up the Loomis deposit for that day," Detective Kevin Webster of Bristow Police said.

He was dressed in what appeared to be a Loomis employee uniform. However, police said it appeared one thing was missing from his uniform: the Loomis logo.

Police say the vest he's wearing didn't look bulletproof either. Loomis employees normally wear bulletproof vests.

"It looked similar to actually a weight running vest," Webster said.

He didn't even ride in the armored vehicle in which Loomis employees normally ride.

Police say he came and left in a black Chevy, but he was convincing enough to fool the employees at Walmart.

They didn't figure it out until 30 minutes later, when the actual Loomis employee showed up for the deposit.

Bristow police and the FBI are working together to solve the crime.

If the suspect is caught and convicted, according to Oklahoma law, he's looking at 20 years or more in prison.  This guy is so cool that hopefully he will not be caught - but this is wishful thinking as they have his picture.
