True Bankrobbery Story that happened today

This all happened a couple of hours ago in Beaverton, OR, near to where I work.....

The husband of a lady I work with was in line at a local Bank of America. The robber followed him in after seeing which vehicle belonged to the man (a good idea I would think).

The robber announced that it was a robbery and herded the customers and employees into a group as a clerk promptly emptied the registers and whatever was demanded from the vault.

The robber then, at gunpoint of course, demands the keys from my co-worker's husband...

(Keep in mind that the robber had a skimask and bandana to conceal his features)

The robber then exits to the parking lot and of course right for the correct vehicle.....

A few seconds later, the robber goes back into the bank and asks the man which was the correct key. He no longer wore the skimask or bandana as he apparently taken them off while fumbling with the keys. Of course, there were now several people and security cameras gathering details of his features.

After now having the correct key, he told the man that he would leave the keys under the mat after he switched vehicles!

4 blocks away, at a Christian church, he was apprehended while trying to find another vehicle. My co-workers husband's car was unharmed.

....................

This is 100% true and just happened today. :lol:

Due to the horrid confusion of the suspect, I would right off say burnout....wanted to get caught, just didn't care, or suffering from delerium brought on by too much of whatever he was snorting.

I cant imagine how nervous I would be if I ever tried robbing a bank. I doubt I'd be so nervous as to take off my skimask and go back into the bank.

I would like to have seen how far he would have gotten otherwise. Oh well, better luck next time.

At least he did not hit that sperm bank like that other post. :p

Smart bank robbers get reported as "Bank Robbed" and you never hear anything else. Dumb Bank Robbers make the front page.

This is why all bank robbers seem dumb. However they all in fact are dumb, because no 5-10k is worth a federal rap.
