A trap.
They put it in money given to crooks and it explodes marking the money and making it useless.

I love the ones with robbers wearing the high school sports team jackets, with their names on it. Things like that.    :D

Not with a gun, anyway.

Fraud is the crime of the intelligent. The most intelligent criminals are the ones running the bank.  ;)

I always thought the most intelligent criminals were the ones hiding away in laboratories in their mansions plotting ways to create and harness natural disasters for their own gain?

Banks are a better venue for large scale evil.  :D

place 1 100.00 bill
on the counter
or I will shoot you.

Vienna has had a serious problem with robberies in recent years. Today we're only at 40 or so so far. In 2007 and 2008 we had around 70. Not bad for a city of ca. 1.7 million people. Oddly, there's as much if not more security than, say, Hamburg banks (comparable German cities have like ca. 10 robberies per year).

This doesn't include the stick ups of betting offices, tobacconists, supermarkets ....

I wonder if tellers get annoyed when people put in "NO DYE PACKS!".

Talk about taking all the fun out of things.

More sad than funny.

Most of the notes are pretty straightforward;  they're not particularly sad or funny (on the first few pages, at least--I didn't go past the 3rd page).  There are some exceptions, of course.

Anybody else notice that the guy on the 3rd page identified as a male in his 20s robbing a bank in MI is the same one on the 1st page identified as being 43?   He certainly looks like he's well out of his 20s.

If you're robbing a bank and all you ask for is $100 that is both sad and funny.

The guy that was 91 was also awesome. If I make it to 91, I want to rob a bank.

Gummint death panels won't buy my new hip. Hand over the dough and nobody gets hurt.

p.s. No dye packs or I blow up this bank.

I love this one:

QuoteThis is a bank robbery,
place 1 100.00 bill
on the counter
or I will shoot you.

To lift a Terry Pratchett phrase, lulz at "the minimum wage of sin."
