Oh. It's Mike. I should have read who the poster was before I assumed it was some idiot being serious.

How many regulars on FR would actually think the guy's stunt was funny? I've stopped being amazed. It seems like whatever the issue, you can find SOMEONE who will come at it from Bizzaroland.

Not your fault. Some people don't have their options set up right.

A good rule of thumb: If you're in line at a bank and comparing generic air fresheners with the name brands with the person behind you, don't yell out, "That's not a Stick Up, THIS is a Stick UP!"

Oh. It's Mike. I should have read who the poster was before I assumed it was some idiot being serious.As opposed to some idiot (I'm referring to ME here, for you folks in Rio Lindo) being unseries.

I liked laz's old tag line that went something like, "Proudly responding to each thread without reading it since 1998". Or something like that.

Ok, so you think the guy is just a dumba...?
First, is that what you role model and teach young children? Frighten people needlessly? Call police as a joke?
Second, not send him to jail? Ok, how about you fine him for all the law enforcement we needed to send on this joke and my tax dollars paid for? If this jerk wants to play a practical joke on his family or friends..go for it. But when you involve the community you can go to jail.
Final question...what other kinds of "jokes" does he do with these 13 yr old girls?

If actually reading the thread before replying became a requirement around here, most of us (and I'm including myself here for you folks in Rio Lindo) would be outta here stat.

Humor would be writing it on your ATM deposit envelope. Or perhaps robbing the drive through?
The funny thing about this drive-through robber is not that he attempted it four times, the funny thing is the tellers at the Bank of America gave him the money the first two times he tried it!

To: Izzy Dunne
Yes. But luckily as I'd been a customer for many years, and Mom worked at the bank, she already knew who I was and that I was not likely to rob them.

Oh and I didn't address that to you because I think you're taking his side-- I just didn't want to pile on Mike Bates. :o)Oh, go ahead. I don't mind.

To: muir_redwoods
you can't play cops and robbers with real cops?Sure you can. You just get to be the "real" robber, as this guy found out.
To: Recovering Ex-hippie
Ok, so you think the guy is just a dumba...?Yep, an incredible dumb ass. From this story, it doesn't appear that he is a bank robber.
First, is that what you role model and teach young children? Frighten people needlessly? Call police as a joke?
Me? Nope, I've never done anything like that. Of course, I'm not an incredible dumb ass.
Second, not send him to jail
I never said that. He could go to jail, just not for attempted bank robbery.
Final question...what other kinds of "jokes" does he do with these 13 yr old girls?
I don’t know. Is there something running through your mind?
I’m sure you’ve made some sort of logical fallacy with this final question. You may want to look it up.

The teller sounded the bank's alarm and police and FBI surrounded the building searching for suspected burglars The police AND the FBI? They 'surrounded the building'? I'm not sure I believe this one, but if it is true it sure beats the crap out of trying to break open a pinata made in China out of indestructible cardboard while you're blindfolded. Happy Birthday!

Michael Lyons, 45, told police that he and a group of girls celebrating his daughter's birthday were trying to play a practical joke.
I had a skating party for my 13th birthday...

To: Mike Bates
I wonder what they guy would have done if the girl walked out of the bank with a bag full of cash?
It could have actually happened. What would the guy have done then, came back and said it was all just a joke?
Maybe this was a set-up to see if it would work, and now he has an excuse because it didn`t. Hmmmmm...
To: Mike Bates
The cops should lighten up. This is a very funny stunt.Hilarious.
