| Bank robbery thwarted after teller says no |
| 2011-03-13 |
| [Arab News] A would-be thief's attempt to rob a suburban New York bank was thwarted when the teller refused his demand for money. Police said the man remained on the lam after the attempted robbery on Wednesday in New Rochelle, about 40 km north of New York City. "He slipped a note through the teller's slot that said 'money in bag,'" said police Capt. Joseph Schaller said. "She refused and with that, she activated the alarm, turned away from the window and he ran out the door." The bank closed briefly but soon reopened for business, police said. |

| #3 There is one Wells Fargo bank branch in Scottsdale that was being robbed at least once a month, even though not a single robber ever got more than a mile away before being caught. But the bank branch had enough, so erected bullet resistant laminate in front of the tellers. Even then, for a while, a Sheriff's Deputy sat on a chair in the lobby. Some rocket surgeon armed robber entered the bank, stood patiently in line in full view of the Deputy, then pointed a gun at a teller behind the laminate and demanded money. The teller started waving at the Deputy, who didn't notice her at first. "Hey! Don't do that!", yelled the dumbass robber, which attracted the attention of the Deputy, who drew his gun, walked up behind the robber and told him to drop it. "What?", asked the incredibly stupid robber. "Drop your gun! Now!", yelled the Deputy. "Huh?", said the robber. The Deputy then just snatched the gun out of the robber's hand. The epilogue was that the robber demanded the right to defend himself in court, then plead guilty. |
