People with disabilities want money too. Once, a man suffering from Down’s Syndrome decided to rob a bank. On the back of a deposit slip, the man wrote a note to the teller explaining that he had a gun and wanted all of the money she had. Noticing the man’s facial features, the woman figured he was suffering from mental retardation. She left, and did not return for several minutes. Growing impatient, the man left and went to the bank across the street. That teller too noticed the man suffered from the condition, and explained to him that he could only use that deposit slip across the street. The man walked back across the street and stood in line, where he was quickly arrested by police.

In the state of Maryland, many banks have night deposit boxes for their patrons.

After tying a rope to the box and to the back of the truck, the men sped off. They did not realize, however, that the bumper and been ripped from the truck and was attached to the box; so was the license plate. Mall security quickly traced the plates and police were waiting at the men’s home when they arrived.

A bank called them that had some money stolen from the night depository box. It is virtually impossible to steal from them because you can’t get your hand into the box for the hopper. When they got there all we found was water on the ground and the contents in the box were wet. They came to the conclusion that the thief filled the box up with water allowing the loose paper money to rise to the top. Of course the coinage and money that was in a bank zipper bag was still there. When the money floated to the top all the thief had to do was rotate the hopper handle and it acted as a scoop. In this manner he proceeded to use the depository as a free ATM machine. They never did find out who did it.
