I don't think I could let go -- even after the car stopped.

Re: Odd News: March 2011
It's quite a stupid thing to do really, she got lucky. She risked the ire of a possible maniac, who knows if he had a weapon, and could have panicked and flipped when she said no, and shot her just because he didn't know what else to do (has happend many times). Just hand the cash over IMO, - It's not yours anyway -and you increase your chances of getting through this unscathed. Another banks money is not worth your life.

Re: Odd News: March 2011
Fair points, but note that the message was passed through the teller's slot. Given that this is near NYC, I suspect that they might have a more... reinforced teller area, and the teller would be behind bulletproof glass.
Would suck to be one of the other people in the lobby, but... And yeah. Not worth losing your life over. Perhaps that's why it's odd...

Re: Odd News: March 2011
We're not particularly known for a high crime rate where I am and we still have 2 inch thick bulletproof polymer barriers at the tellers. Only real threat there is a high powered rifle, and I don't think you can hide one of those in your coat pocket.

I don't care how wealthy you are, please have something smaller than a c-note when ordering pizza for 2. Still, I doubt it was the $100 bills that tipped off the pizza guy to how wealthy his customers were. Maybe they should have tipped better?
