Criminal mastermind tripped up somehow

You know how in certain movies and teevee shows, a criminal will leave behind a calling card to taunt the police? Well, usually, they're not quite this specific:
A would-be bank robber came away empty-handed, but left behind something useful for police — her photo identification. Police Commissioner William Dwyer said the woman was arrested on an attempted armed robbery charge less than an hour later.

Dwyer told The Detroit News that the woman filled out an account application Thursday morning, then pulled a handgun and demanded cash. But she panicked and fled without getting any money. Police found an address on the account application, along with her photo ID.
Needless to say, they arrested her dumb ass.

Do the cops even get paid for something like that? I mean, it's like they didn't even have to do any work. I bet they had all kinds of cool CSI-style equipment and chemicals they didn't get to use, either.
