Bank Robbery!
January 8th, 2007 | Published in General
Today I walked in on a bank robbery. Well, actually, I missed it by about 15 minutes. I was headed to Commerce Bank on Park Ave and 21st street to exchange all of my accumulated change. The bank was full of cops, and the officer at the door said it had just been robbed.
I’m not naive but I always find it amazing how certain people have such little respect for the law or their fellow humans, combined with a high tolerance for trouble, that they’ll do things like rob banks, steal credit card numbers, break into brokerage accounts, or other dishonest activity. Even if these people score a big zero in the morals department, this kind of life has got to be incredibly risky and stressful.
Anyway, I finally lugged my 20 pounds or so of change to the 15th and 5th branch, and ended up with enough cash to buy a nice iPod Nano.
