Louise went into her bank to cash a cheque. She looked so hesitant that the cashier went to help her. 'Please sign the back of the cheque, 'the teller told her, 'as you'd sign a letter.
'Louise looked
extremely grateful, scribbled on the cheque and passed it back to the cashier.
Signed on the back was: 'Yours affectionately, Louise.'
The Weiner Journal reported this item last Monday: a prospective bank robber was foiled in an attempt to rob the Landeskbank-Hypothekenbank in Vienna when he was directed to a different counter.
The clerk
he approached told him that she did not 'deal with those types of queries'.
There was a big queue for the next cashier so the man, who was holding a silver box that he claimed was a bomb, fled before
repeating his request.
Clerk Maria Bertel said, 'He came up to me wearing his scarf wrapped high around his face and said he wanted money. I said I didn't
deal with money here and told him to go to the next
counter.
'It was only afterwards I realised he was trying to rob the bank. We called the police, but by the time they came he had run off.'
A robbery at a school in Providencia, Chile was foiled when the pupils laughed at the perpetrator of the crime reports the newspaper Las Ultimas Noticias.
The
teachers, pupils and parents had been watching the rehearsal of a play which began with the words, 'This is a robbery'
.
The criminal used these words and the audience collapsed in fits of laughter. So
taken aback, the robber snatched the registration money and fled from the school into the arms of the police who were on their way having been alerted to the robbery.
A man attempted to rob a Bank of America located in San Francisco. He walked into the branch and wrote,
'this iz a stikkup. Put all
your muny in this bag'.
While standing in line, waiting to give his note to the teller, he began to worry that someone had seen him write the note and might call the police before he reached the teller's
window. So he left the Bank of America and crossed the street to Wells Fargo. After waiting a few minutes in line, he handed his note to the Wells Fargo teller. She read it and, surmising from his spelling
errors that he wasn't the brightest tool in the box, told him that she could not accept his stickup note because it was written on a Bank of America deposit slip and that he would either have to fill out a
Wells Fargo deposit slip or go back to Bank of America.
Looking somewhat defeated, the man said, 'OK,' and left. He was arrested a few minutes later, as he was waiting in line back at the Bank of
America.
