Girl busted for robbery after stupidly posting YouTube boast
The writing was on the wall after a self-proclaimed “Chick Bank Robber” posted a video to YouTube with the description “I just stole a car and robbed a bank.”
Hannah Sabata isn’t a name you’re familiar with, but clearly she thought you should be. Trouble is, she didn’t really think things through very clearly. You see, Hannah decided that it would be a good idea to rob a bank and steal a car… and then post a video bragging about what she’d done on YouTube.
You’re probably already facepalming and wondering how anyone could be so stupid, but it gets better (or worse, depending on your perspective). As if uploading a video confession to YouTube wasn’t bad enough, Sabata didn’t even think to change her clothes before sitting down in front of her webcam to record.
A wardrobe change might have been smart, because she’d already worn that outfit on another video earlier in the day: the one police examined from the bank’s closed-circuit cameras. With a suspect that fit the description fessing up on video that named the specific make and model of vehicle stolen (a shiny Pontiac Grand Am) and flashing a wad of cash (all $6,000 she’d stuffed into a pillow case), it didn’t take local police long to make an arrest.
People post all kinds of silly, ridiculous videos to YouTube — thousands of them every day. Not many can rival this particular example, however, when it comes to the sheer disregard of common sense it required to click the upload button. This goes way beyond cases like the guys and gals who get busted for street racing after posting a brag video.
But hey, if any other criminals want to follow Sabata’s lead, feel free. It’ll make things easier on the hard-working men and women of law enforcement.

Her parents and relatives must be proud…(not)
If stupidity has a stratosphere then Hannah Sabata has surpassed its boundaries. This proves that what little cranial matter she has, has been fried through drug use.
If you want to make an officer laugh, ask him if he’s ever met a smart criminal. My father all too often has a funny story that makes us shake our heads, leaving one speechless.
ya, probably why she’s crazy
She is BLOND Right ??
and your SINGLE Right??
It’s “you’re”, as in “you are”. “Your” is possessive.
You’re not funny or smart. You’re annoying.
Calm down, it was just a correction.Aaron was just trying to help someone and you pity him, not nice.
and you are an idiot
Finally! Someone who knows proper english. Thank you!
and you can spell?
you have to wonder WHY blondes get picked on
Doubtless, some study will eventually surface to tell us why.
I’ve dated women with different hair colours in my life (still waiting for a redhead though LOL), and have met eually smart and equally dumb ones. It’s all to do with character, and nothing to do with hair colour.
There’s another stupid comment
It has nothing to do with being Blond……….she’s just plain stupid.
As stupid as she may be, the sad reality are the statistics of crimes; both violent or not that are solved by law enforcement throughout many cities in Canada. It’s not flattering or encouraging, especially if you’re the victim of a crime. Thank goodness this imbecile made some police departments job a lot easier.
This is where cut-backs to police department funding make the most impact. We lose experienced people to attrition but with reduced budgets we can’t recruit talent to replace them. Eventually, the department lacks the resources to chase down complex cases.
This girl was American not Canaidan so taking about crime stats here in Canada really doesn’t matter in this case she is from Nebraska. She is also not all there if you see pictures of her being arrested you can see she’s a NUT CASE she thinks its funny.
Yah – if the show were still in production, she’d get top billing on it – that old show called “America’s Dumbest Criminals”! This far exceeds the guys who:
a) drop wallets, or the guy who:
b) tried to cash a stolen paycheque at the bank it was drawn on – only to find out that the teller was the victim’s wife – hahahaha, or :
c) the guy who tried to rob a storeo where everybody knew him, but figured that out and usd a mask – which he put on aftere he entred the store and the clerk sadi “Hi so and so”!
As for her blonde hair, she’s real pretty – too bad she’s so stupdi!
“She’s such a bright girl, not an evil bone in her body”…..said nobody…..EVER!
The problem with this is most young people are just as smart as her.And there going to be looking after us when we get old,Goodluck.
The probltm is that most young peolpe are not any smarter then her .There going to look after us when we get older ,Goodluck
I am one of those “young peolpe” you may be referring to, but I am also completing my PhD right now and can confidently say she does NOT represent all young people. I resent your generalization of all of us based on one person’s actions. Furthermore, if you are going to begin commenting on the supposed lack of intelligence of the younger generation, consider checking your own spelling and grammar first. And we’re going to have to look after people like YOU when you get older… wish us luck ;)
Very well said :) Best of luck and congratulations on your PhD. Just reading what you have written here tells me you are a very intelligent young lady.
I am writing to apologize for the stupid comment made about your generation. I know she does not represent your entire generation and have every faith that you not fail us older folks when the time comes to do the right thing.
I am saddened however by how the internet has become a forum to showcase criminally psychotic activities – Luka Rocco Magnotta comes to mind..
Also wanted to reply to the other person who ‘stupidly’ commented on the young robber’s blonde hair – which she could have dyed. Yet another case of judging a book by its cover..
A PhD is not an assurance of being competent or efficient in any way. Also it all depends on the quality or it. I hope yours is not on Religious or Divine studies. The comment focus is that we (as a collective group) are partially to blame for some of the stupidity and lack of “common sense” that plagues our young people. Vanity, shallowness and reality shows plus computer games and social networks that adores trash are in great part to blame. This girl comes definitely from a poor background, has already had a child and her level of maturity is of great concern. I hope that our system, instead of punishing her, try rehabilitation and allow her to go back to school and get a PhD so she can take care of me and probably you.
Huh?
And insulting another individual based on their choice of program or their age or the influences they have had growing up is not a sure sign of maturity. I hope you do not come in contact with civilization all too often.
You ARE kidding, right? The thought that I would have to rely on people like her when I am in need scares the hell out of me.
Well said!!
LOL, could’nt have said that better myself.
Hey Bucko,
You may think you are pretty smart with your Doctoral degree, but given your vicious crack about “….having to look after you when we get older…..”, I say Screw You!
As a sexagenarian, I can tell you that you just made it harder on your generation, down the road when I get older. Maybe you should consider the inverse of the comment “…..be careful what you wish for…..”,’cause you just set yourself up to receive it.
Hell, you ‘young’ ones are the ones who consider yourself so bloody perfect, with all your so-called knowledge about global warming, political correctness and the like, but there you go dismissing whole generations of people as worthless, in your eyes.
In point of fact, most of you are merely book-learned, but you and your ilk think you know it all, so I say fill your boots while you can – enjoy using your degree until you get laid off due to government cutbacks or corporate restructuring. Oh, I know you have worked hard, amd most of you (at least, the ones who did not cheat) have earned your degrees, but there are also a lot of you who are semiliterate at best by the end of high school, and very few of you can function without a calculator. When was the last time you did any long form arithmetic, by hand?
Next time you open your big, fat mouth and make ageist comments, just remember the effect of karma! Until you spend some time with older people, you have no concept of what we are capable of, as regards making your lives a living hell. Ponder that!
You wanted animosity? You got it!
If you’re working towards your PhD you should probably learn to spell properly.
I’m young, and going by your atrocious spelling, you’re about as sharp as a basketball. Wow.
Wow, you must be old! I am 51 myself, but know enough that not all young people are dumb. Don’t be such a jackass!
Mabye everyone here should take a break from the computer, maybe some people are spelling badly… I am 12 years old and I know that I can spell better that most people over my age but that does not need to be announced Aaron, so maybe try being nice to people… you are creating arguments.I understand Sandra, It’s okay, but maybe you should hide your anger.
(I’m not trying to say anything bad about you guys)
Just letting you know that you don’t have to have arguments with others all the time (well not ALL the time)
Ya Right that only happens in your dreams u didn’t even get your highschool diploma
Exuse me? Maybe you can learn a thing or two from me. Why so grumpy??
sorry
Darwin award entry perhaps?
Sadly in order to be eligible for a Darwin Award the recipient must die but give her time she just may outdo herself.
One does not have to die, but only remove themselves from the gene pool. Killing oneself is but one method. Neutering works as well. :P
Dumb Blond bad mother
Why do you assume she has a bad mother? Maybe a bad father? Maybe an abusive teacher? Why speculate on something you don’t know!
He was not referring to her mother… The girl in the video IS A MOTHER but had her child taken away… probably because she was unfit to be a mother.
Obviously a few bricks short of a skid
This gal is another perfect example of how ignorance is curable, but stupid is forever.
rofl
you can’t fix stupid
Yes, it seems there IS something that even duct tape CAN’T fix!
what she did was not bright! But she was very hurt cs the Government took her baby! I would be hurt too! She fealt that the only way to get back at the Government for stealing her baby was to steal something herself!
She must have been very hurt!!! Maybe the Government didn’t handle her case in a good way. We don’t know the whole story!!! Im not saying she had every right to steal!!!! But you have to look at things from all points of view!
Many people have been hurt by government, friends, family, etc. but they do not go out and steal someones car and rob a bank. If what you say is true I can only surmise by her actions that it is a good thing her child was taken and hopefully will be allowed to grow up without her influence. Her actions speak volumes about her maturity and intelligence. Her actions also caused harm and one so called wrong is not righted by another wrong.
I am hurt by the government every day when I have to pay taxes to support dimwits like this one. As far as the baby being taken away, I can only say, thank you, Jesus. Maybe he will get a chance in life away from a negligent, stupid and immature little fool like her. Grow up!
Someone this stupid shouldn’t have been allowed to reproduce in the first place…
Why do you think it’s her fault? She probably didn’t know any better.
Your way of thinking is what compounds and supports juvenile delinquency. Juveniles are thumbing their noses at the law and society because there are no real penalties for bad criminal behavor. Your comment clearly supports their behavor.
And you know this how…?
FYI You can’t know what I’m thinking, DON’T TELL ME WHAT I’M THINKING!
thanks for letting me know that you can read my mind Joe.
Jessica, people are going to know what you are thinking when you express your opinions.
That’s not true, he can’t tell me anything… it’s just that everyone is saying that she’s stupid when no one is stupid…. no one in the world is stupid
I’m giving up on this girl.
Good for you Sarah.
they who don t judge …do not get judged….finally someone spoke of her baby….
Yes! So she figures the best way to get back at the government AND get her baby back was to steal a car, rob a bank, then post a confession for the world to see
Bad, evil government…guess sometimes they do know what they are doing, eh?
They were just doing their best on protecting people… that girl could have taught her child bad things, or not known how to teach her good things… no one wants more crazy people in this world!
No. Just… no.
What other view is there? Do her actions support ANY belief that she is able to be responsible, reasonable and mature (a.k.a. a good parent)? This type of idiotic behavior doesn’t spring out of nowhere. You know, you can DO THINGS to get your kids back. Absolutely none of those things were included in her game plan.
This is, by far, the most ridiculous response to anything on this entire web page. It’s so ignorant it actually made me laugh! She was hurt by the government? HAHA!! How is robbing a bank and stealing a person’s private property a way to “get back at the Government”? You, my friend, are an idiot.
One should do some research before posting comment and calling ppl names!!!
If u want to see something ridiculous, just look in the mirror.
To feel bad
Ok so what “research” do I need to complete? You’ve told me twice that this is what I need to do. Oh, and you are still an idiot.
The $6000.00 and car doesn’t even come close to the value of her baby!
This beautifully illustrates the Forest Gump quote “Stupid is as stupid does.” By the sounds of it Child Services did the baby a big favour by removing it from her. The mother is a miscreant and a stupid one at that. She’s hardly a remote possibility of being a candidate for mother of the year. Given the choice placing the child up for adoption away from this bimbo ensures it of a better life or leaving it in her hands where at best comes out just like Mom and worst fails to survive. I side with the baby’s chance at a better life everytime.
the one she hopefully will not have any access to now. The baby deserves so much better.
Please if that’s your reasoning then let someone take that amount of money from your account. Maybe leave the keys in your car so someone who was wronged by the government take it since that is only right. Wake up will you.
Children are more valuable than money and cars!!! U can replace money and cars ! But u can’t replace children!
Sorry, I was wrong earlier. THIS is the dumbest response on this web page!!
“The $6000.00 and car doesn’t even come close to the value of her baby!”
Please tell me you’re doing this as a joke. Please!!
I take it that ur still in grade 1
do some research laddy befor u comment.

I’d say the cheeze is slidin’ off her pizza, if ya know what I mean.
This girl is obviously not dealing with a full deck..So i think she should not go to jail .but she should be put in a mental ward..and be treated for mental illness
Mental illness? Hahahahahahahahaha More like drug induced stupidity. There is no diversion treatment for that. Just put her in jail where she belongs. Idiot!
I hate to tell you but addictions are a mental illness; so yes a mental health facility would be more beneficial than a jail. Please get facts about drug addictions and mental illnesses correct before posting.
I do agree with one commenter that this might be her way of lashing out for her losing her baby, I don’t think there could be anything harder to get through, day after day thinking of her child, was she surrounded with support or just left all alone to accept this outcome. BUT, girl you could of gotten shot and killed, one day soon, when your child turns 18, it might want to know you and understand what happened, that maybe you were just too young to be a mother. Good Luck in the future. Be strong.
yes and did you ever think she could have panicked and shot and kill a bank employee or innocent bystander. I have no pity for this girl at all, she is obviously selfish and STUPID.
Stupid isn’t the right word… maybe oblivious is better, this young girl may have done stupid things but that doesn’t mean she is stupid… look the word up in the dictionary and then you will see why she isn’t stupid, although she never covered up her tracks by posting a video on Youtube.
Jessica, WHAT are you talking about? More importantly, why??? You’re 12. Your life experiences don’t come close to giving you credibility in this discussion.
GO.
AWAY.
Don’t tell me what to do, I know things… I ACCTUALLY HAVE EXPERIENCE. You don’t know me so… ya. Also, My dad is a police officer so I’m not completley oblivous to this conversation so grow some respect and pick on someone your own age, just remember that I tried to be nice. P.S. NO ONE is stupid
Jessica, your father’s job does not give YOU experience or knowledge. You’re all over this thread telling others “what to do” but complain I’m “picking on you” when I point out your extreme lack of credibility. You have an idealized version of reality, which is fine… when you’re 12. As you experience bad situations and bad people, your judgement shifts towards practicality out of necessity.
Coming on this thread and being contrary does not an adult make.
PS- YES, there ARE stupid people.
What gives you the right to tell me to go away?
The same right to declare this girl a spoiled whackjob.
We’re on the interwebs. You’re trying to play with grown up, so… defend your position or stop whining at everyone.
slim it, you are hurting my feelings badly and you don’t have to say that.I am allowed to be in this conversation of i like so mind your own buisness.
For f#*k’s sake. I’m done with that.
Where would u like me to go???
Sarah….. Why don’t u pick on someone ur own size?
☺ have a good life sarah, you’re going to need it. and learn a few things on the way… maybe about being nice or resspectful P.S. I may be different than other people (no duh) and I like reading articles, news, and stuff like this so i can be in this conversation and you…(the obstacle)… will NOT stand in my way. got it?
u go girl!!!
Yeeeeeeeaaaaaaah…. I’m not dropping it because I feel ‘mean’. I’m dropping it because you are hopeless.
All right Sarah….we all know ur jealous of Jessica all because she is smarter than u! Why don’t u just drop it?
You got me. The intellectual prowess is staggering.
Thats powers Sarah not prowess
Learn how to spell
I’m certain you’re trolling because no one is that idiotic.
Maybe you should go away if your going to get bossy and act like a-know-it-all.
P.S. I said not completely oblivious… If you know what I’m talking about.
Good one, Jess
ok
hmmm…a bag of hammers come to mind here.
All sorts of people lose babies, none of them robbed banks. She deserves to be put on display in a glass box, with a big “STUPID” sign, so people can walk by and laugh at her. What I’d really love to see is a video of the police arresting her, and letting her know that her idiotic video pointed them right to her. This will at least be a pretty quick trial, as she’s already provided a taped confession!
Trouble is, will she be able to get an unbiased jury that has no knowledge of the case?
I think it speaks volumes that this was her self-described “best day of my life” rather than the day her baby was born…
Completely agree.
I think it’s cute that jessica still has that wide-eyed optimism that we all hope to have when we’re 12. Unfortunately though jessica, as you get older and for the lack of a better word “wiser” you come to realize that I’m sorry but yes there are stupid people in this world. There are people that lose their children because they make poor choices. There are people who rob banks, steal cars and yes even confess to it on the internet. I’m sure no one here thinks you’re dumb or stupid but you are young. Not that that’s a bad thing! You have a lot of life ahead of you and you will learn why people older than you, have more knowledge of how the world and the people in it, work. Unfortunately, as you get older you can become quite biased and pessimistic about people. It’s part of growing up.
Yes, I know that’s true, thank you
Before using the word wise, u should find out what wisdom is!!! Its obvious that u are not at all wise!!!
Hey feel bad. Are you angry at me for something? Is that why you are trolling around for my comments and then trying to “outsmart” me with your intellect? I say this without reference to your “look in the mirror” response. Good one.
Its pretty bad when a 12 year old is wayyyy smarter than u!!!
She has alot going for her! Too bad I can’t say the same for u!
Stick arround…. maybe we could teach u a thing or two.
Hey everybody….don’t mind Duh. Hes a little slow!!!
Play nice buster, there’s nothing wrong with duh, he’s obviously not smarter than me.
Ur right Jessica!!!! But Hes a little slow though!
I’m sure You guys don’t want to create another huge argument.
P.S. may name isn’t acctually Jessica
No ur right Jessica! arguements is not where its at!
Btw my name isent Why is Duh sooo dumb? either! So that makes 2 of us! :P
lol ur right Jessica….arguing is the pits!!!
Ya, but it’s that normal to have the name Feel Bad or Why is duh sooo dumb so i didn’t think it was your name. (obviously)
I just call myself feel bad, cs I feel bad for that blond girl who robbed that bank and stole that car. Her baby was taken away. She is just having a hard life!
Does “feel bad” honestly think no one knows that he/she and “why is duh so dumb” is the same person? Get a life. Ding Dong. HAHA!!
They’re just trolls. Pay no attention to them.
