Bank Robbery

[Gamdwelf]

Wow, my friend just got bank robbed.

He was the only teller at the bank he works at this morning, a man came in handed him a note, took his money and walked out.

Police are looking for him now, but wow that's kinda crazy.

Best way to rob a bank now is with notes lol. Kinda sad but it gets u the least amount of jail if you get caught.

[Darsithis]

So he had no weapon or anything?

Yeah I know this guy pulled almost a text book good bank robbery, note baseball cap and sunglasses, also a big bandage on his face that could have been fake to take off after he left, only thing better would have been 2 layers of clothing to take off after so his appearance could change.

nope, just handed a teller ( my friend), and he gave him the money.

Tellers are trained not to resist if somebody robs the bank.

Yea, thats the best way to do it tbh - just remember to give them the money with the paint capsule in it too

That is dumb. If somebody hands me a note to rob a bank, but doesn't have a gun, I would just laugh and say nice try. I suppose it could be concealed, but then what is the point?

[vizzle]

How much did your friend give him?

[Laize]

Holy shit, really? The tellers don't even have to verify they have a weapon?

What if some deaf/mute guy walks in and hands a note asking for money unaware that what he's doing is a crime?

And why the hell doesn't this bank in question have a plate of 3 cm Lexan between them and the patrons?

Bank robbery is the crime with the highest chance of getting caught, so there is no point in it anyway. I know a guy who did it (though you would not believe it looking at him now). As an old wise poet said: Robbing a bank is nothing compared to founding a bank.

Well I would think trained if they have a weapon. Without one I would said "f*** you".

I believe the point is, if it is concealed, you're about to be a lot more dead than you were a few minutes ago.

how do you know he does not have any kind of weapon equipped? A knife or something.

[Purlina]

I am sure the bank has insurance that will cover the loss anyway. Let the police deal with it...

They do, of course, so the teller is probably just fine. Being a hero isn't necessarily the best move to make. If he had no obvious weapon, though, I'd probably still have said no.

To be honest, if they have a weapon, but are afraid to show incase they get caught with a longer jail time, then the odds are their going to be even less likely to use it

Now if someone runs in with a gun or a replica and I couldnt decide if it was or wasn't real, and screaming at me, then I'd be handing over the cash

lol really I don't think the deaf/mute guy's note would say something like "hand me all of you money or else". That and why would the teller need to establish a threat, if the guy pulls out the gun he knows if he gets caught he is going to prison for a long time. Armed robbery and robbery are not the same thing. If he pulls out the gun he might as well shoot him.

[rageofmars]

Your friend handled it correctly. Regardless of if the guy showed his gun or not, no job at any wage is worth endangerment of self and coworkers. Bank is insured, anyway.

If you were going to rob a bank, would you walk in twirling your gun(s) or keep it in a pocket out of sight? Granted criminals are usually fairly stupid, but they're not typically that stupid.

[cubby]

Those of you puffing out your chest and claiming you wouldn't hand over the money until a verifiable weapon was shown are just full of hot air. NONE of you have been in that situation and NONE of you know what you would or would not do in that situation.

Frankly, just hand over the money - perhaps with a nod and a quiet "well done". I mean, wtf do you care? If you're jealous, do it yourself of find another line of crime to engage in. But don't just throw out false bravado.

LEXAN!

Why didn't this bank have it?!
