Mouse STRIKES ATM
Written by Dick Mason, The Observer August 07, 2009 02:11 pm
A mouse robbed the Gem Stop Chevron convenience store on Island Avenue Thursday.
A mouse with no larceny in its heart but a taste for $20 bills.
The tiny rodent squeezed into the automated teller machine inside the store and made a nest with $20 bills.
The ATM was operating well and nobody suspected anything. That is, until Millie Taylor, a Gem Stop employee, opened it around 9 a.m. Thursday and received the surprise of her life. “I saw these beady eyes and a lot of chewed up $20 bills,’’ Taylor said.
She slammed the ATM’s door shut and screamed. Then she composed herself.
“I stayed calm until the customers left.’’

In light of dollar value declining fast, this would be what $20 bills would be good for in near future.
The rodent is ahead of its time.:-)

"The tiny rodent squeezed into the automated teller machine inside the store and made a nest with $20 bills. The ATM was operating well and nobody suspected anything." I'd bet withdrawn bills had that musty mouse smell. I wonder if any were slightly shredded or had pieces from shredded bills stuck to them.

Sound like that mouse has all the essential traits to run for congress as a democrat.

Except that he shreds the money, as opposed to sticking it in the freezer.
