Bungling Bank Robbers

This week's ridiculous bank-robbery story comes from Coral Springs, Florida, where a woman walked into a SunTrust branch and handed the teller a note reading, "Give me cash, I have a knife." After the teller handed over $430, the unsatisfied robber declared that that wasn't enough, and sent the poor teller into the back room to get more money.

Of course, as soon as the teller was out of the thief's sight, she called the police. The cops arrived and arrested the would-be robber even before the teller returned from the back room.

There's a nicer story out of South Carolina, where a robber entered a Wachovia branch with a note demanding $30,000. When the teller told him she didn't have any money, he politely said, "Thank you," and departed. That didn't, however, prevent the police from arresting him for entering a bank with intent to steal.
