The shy robber


I don't recommend doing this.

No, really I don't.


Police: bank bandit flees after being yelled at
USA Today

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) — Police are seeking a timid would-be robber who fled a Springfield bank empty-handed after somebody yelled at him.

Sgt. John Delaney says a man wearing dark clothes and sunglasses entered The Bank of Western Massachusetts Thursday morning and demanded money from a teller. The man said he was armed but never showed a gun.

Delaney says another person in the bank yelled at the man to leave — and he did.

Delaney says the would-be robber fled out the door without any money, climbed into a getaway car and drove off.

Detectives are checking bank security cameras and dusting for fingerprints.
