[quote]A silent robber has held up a bank in Greater Manchester by handing a cashier a note ordering the teller to hand over £5,000.
The note was handed in at a bank in Salford and read "£5,000 NOW SHHH!!! OR Ill SHOOT".
No weapon was seen and the bank employee handed the cash to the robber, who fled the scene.
Some cash was later found, stained with dye from a security pack within the money which had been activated.
The raid, a week ago, took place at a NatWest branch in Bolton Road, Irlams o' th' Height.
Police said a quantity of the cash had been found behind Bolton Road, at the junction of Irlam Square and Ellery Road, after the security dye pack had been activated.
Det Con Allan Barker said: "The bank robber calmly walked up to a staff member, handed over a threatening note and then left with some cash."
He added the robber could have stained hands or dye on his clothes and said he hoped people recognised the handwriting.[/quote]

This happens all the time. I read somewhere that it's one of the most common forms of bank robbery. Bank tellers are trained to give up the money immediately and comply with all the robber's demands.
These "ban x" jokes get less funny the more you post them.

Ban-ana.
this actually seems to happen quite often, but with the dyes it doesn't really matter if they get the money
The fact that the bank employee even handed over money to the robber using a piece of paper is freaking hilarious

You can never know really, I mean the guy could have a gun or he could not. It's better to give them the money then risk the chance of getting shot.

the money is almost always placed with a dye (i guess that's how it works tbh i don't know) so the robber ends up with nothing, and (atleast in the US) the money is insured by the government, so really the robber is getting owned

They are trained to respond in that manner.
It's more or less to cover the banks insurance policy. :v:
[QUOTE=usaokay;38887194]I honestly thought that was a joke in 30 minutes or less.[/QUOTE]
it's one of the most common security methods with bank money.
many of them are painfully easy to disable too if you know how.
what if the bank robber demands that if the money has security dye then someone gets killed?
If it weren't for the fact that I'd end up with a life sentence, I would totally run into a bank with a potato sack on my head and blast the teller with a supersoaker before demanding all the money that ever existed
Robbing a bank with a note is fairly common, much more safe than verbally broadcasting to everyone within earshot that you're robbing the bank.
Its gotta take some nerves of steel to walk up, rob a bank for 5,000 and walk out with no suspicion being sparked. I like how he went over the letter several times too, seems like that would make it harder to find him based on handwriting alone.

Well, it's not like it's going to go off right in the bank. They're usually time set. Unless the thief is going to sit there in the bank, counting out mass amounts of money, that's probably not an issue.
