Ever since the "Grandad Bandit" debuted his robbery skills on April 10, 2009, when he passed a Houston, Texas teller a note demanding money, agents with the FBI say this elderly man hasn't let up.

On April 29, the unknown man robbed a bank in Atlanta, Ga.

On May 29, in Roanoke, Va. the Grandad Bandit made his third robbery.

In the month of June, the Grandad Bandit appears to have taken a brief hiatus from robbing banks; although agents with the FBI are skeptical, seeing as he robs a bank just about every month.

On July 3, the serial bank robber hit Little Rock, Ark.

After robbing the bank in Arkansas, the Grandad Bandit headed back to Texas, where he hit a bank in Dallas on July 24.

On the first of the month in August, a bank in Birmingham, Ala. was the target of his next robbery.

Leaving the South, the Grandad Bandit traveled to upstate New York, where he robs a bank in Syracuse on September 22.

On October 2, the elderly man, once again, robbed a bank in Atlanta, Ga.

Most recently, on October 10, he was witnessed in Tallahassee, Fla. where he robbed yet another bank, bringing the total to nine robberies thus far.
