Monday, May 9th, 2005 • Filed under BanksComment

A Washington woman decided to rob a bank. Not having any transportation, however, she called a cab. She had the driver take her to the bank and wait outside while she robbed the institution. After the heist, she had the cab driver take her back home. Fortunately, several people outside of the bank saw the woman walk out of the bank with bags of money and get into the taxi. The police were called and given the cab number. The driver was called into to take the police to the woman’s house where she was immediately arrested.

A young criminal walked into a bank and quietly handed the teller a note demanding several thousand dollars. Disguised, the man could have easily gotten away. However, he had idiotically written the note on a piece of his own stationery; it included his full name and address.

The Next Day

Sometimes, a criminal’s stupidity does not rear its ugly head at the time of the crime. One man robbed a bank and made a clean getaway. The next day, however, he returned to the same bank and tried to deposit the money into his account.

Stuck In The Vault

Monday, May 9th, 2005 • Filed under BanksComment

Three burglars entered a soon-to-be-demolished bank in hopes of finding some left over cash. Two of the group found a vault, but upon entrance, they discovered it was empty. The door shut behind them and they were unable to get out. Worried that his friends may die, the third man called the fire department to rescue his friends. The police came as well, and the trio was arrested.

This Is A (bleep) Up!

Monday, May 9th, 2005 • Filed under Banks3 Comments

A man rushed into a bank brandishing a gun intending to intimidate everyone by screaming, “Up with your f – - – - – - hands, this is a stickup.” But in his nervousness, it came out, “Up with you sticky hands, this is a f – - – up”. After a short pause, tellers, customers and the bank guard began to giggle and the thief was so rattled that he left the bank without carrying out the robbery. The bank now has a plaque on the wall containing the famous phrase (with suitable blank spaces, no doubt).

Locked Out

Three friends decided to rob a bank. The plan was for one of the men to go into the bank near closing time and tie up the clerks, placing them in the vault. The plan went smoothly. The man left the bank and went to get his two accomplices from the car. In his haste, however, the man forgot to take the keys from the tellers. The clerks were locked in the vault; the man and his friends were locked outside the bank.

Fog Up

Monday, May 9th, 2005 • Filed under BanksComment

One winter’s day, a juvenile borrowed his friends snowmobile and drove to the local Credit Union. Sporting a full-face helmet with a shield, the boy walked into the Credit Union carrying a handgun. After demanding twenty-thousand dollars, boy’s shield began to fog up due to the heat inside the bank. Raising the shield so that he could see, the boy took the money and ran. The teller called the police because she had recognized the boy once the shield was lifted. She escorted police to the adolescents house where he was immediately arrested.

Pull

A local man stormed into a local bank demanding all the cash tellers had on hand. When security windows began to go up as he reached over the counter, the criminal decided he had better make a run for it. For nearly ten minutes he tried to escape through the door from whence he came, however it simply would not budge. Figuring that the doors had been automatically locked, the man resigned himself to being arrested. As police escorted him from the bank, he noticed on the door in bright red letters the word PULL.
