The bandits backed a moving van up to the bank late Friday night.
They spent the next two and a half days clearing the bank out.
Not only did they take all the paper currency, not only in the vault, but from the safe-deposit boxes as well.
The thieves also took all the coins, all the negotiable bonds.
They also took the carpet, and all the furniture; the banker's office furniture, desk, office chair, credenza, lamp. They even took all the stools the tellers used to sit on.
BUT !!
The thieves left behind a ballpoint pen, the one on a chain, for account holders to fill out their deposit slips.
So it wasn't a bank heist.

During the '68 Tet Offensive, the U.S. suffered a setback in its War in Vietnam.
So because Westmoreland's strategy wasn't perfect, Vietnam wasn't a real War.
"We have never had an actual, true, real live-up-to-its-name-and-billing-and-hype War on Drugs so that negates the premise." hm #53
No insult intended. No doubt the poster is a prominent MENSA member.
But the above quoted post is about the most conspicuously absurd barge-load of bullspit I've read this year.
Turns out the unactual, false, fake, die-down-to-its-nickname-and-payment-and-rumor War on Drugs is a War against the People.
#53 would be a valid point if:
- there was no prisoner of Drug War. But there are.
- the U.S. hadn't spent a $Trillion on Drug Wars so far, apparently only compounding the problem. But we have.
- the martial oppression of Drug War didn't drag the U.S. economy down on BOTH sides of the equation; not merely costing US ~$35K / year per prisoner of Drug War to house, feed, clothe, guard, doctor, and sometimes educate. But also taking them off our tax roles. But we do.
Drug War in the U.S. isn't some trivial blemish that causes only the most superficial cosmetic inconvenience; a problem a dab of Maybelline solves every time.
Drug War in the U.S. is a $hemorrhage in:
- loss of human rights
- unwisely misallocated resources
The U.S. Drug War is self-defeating, BY DEFINITION!! It is a War the nation wages against itself.
And the assertion in #53 is the premise is negated because the author deems U.S. Drug War strategy not "actual, true, real" ?!
Genuinely comical, and a little sad. Talk to those that have served time as prisoners of Drug War. You tell them* Drug War isn't "actual, true, real". Good luck with that.
