Maybe this is the ultimate "hiding in plain site" story. I don't know.
A man robbed a bank in Irving, Texas and is still on the lam. Even though police got a good description of the vehicle, they have been unable to locate it. 
Here's the thing - it's not like it "blends" well with the surrounding scenery. Check out the story:

I mean - did he miss a payment on the thing?? It's not like it's made quick getaways or anything. So, wouldn't something like this hauling @ss down the road and around the corner be something people might just take notice of? 
I can only say that this guy has brass ones. What do you think?

Yeah - let's spend the money BEFORE we steal it, OK? LOL
But, I suspect they either own the thing or are related to someone who does and pulled the job maybe while they were supposed to be actually transporting customers and that's their cover. Hopefully, they'll be caught.

I wonder what the cops were really doing when the call came in??? This is the most bizarre story I've heard in a while. I hope there are some follow up stories. I'll be real interested to see what excuses will given for no leads, no looks, no follows LOL

Maybe it was someone getting some money for prom, it is that time of year. hahaha I agree, it would stand out like a sore thumb speeding away and trying to get through traffic and making the turns unless it is a normal driver and he knows how to handle the vehicle.

HI jerz! I think that it is quite the clever heist! Who
would have thought of something that clever? It is rather
a cool robbery! Hiring a limo and driver to wait for you
while you rob a bank! Pretty smart! It is hiding in plain
site! Even if they got the plates, they probably were
fake and changed so then what! A black limo? Duh? I'm
sure it was the only one in town? I think that they won't
find the car, but how about was the money marked, was
the video tape any help? They didn't say anything about
those clues?
