Grandaughter Robbed At Bank Of America Today

[Bulldog1948]

You read the subject line correctly. Our lovely grandaughter had a terrifying incident this monring. A man walk in, handed her a note stating how much money he wanted and how long she to count it out. He never spoke a word. She somplied, he walked out and got into a yellow Penske van and or truck and drove off. There was someone else doing the driving. Yes, she was shook up but is feeling better this evening. Thank God she or no one else was hurt. No, she didn't see a gun, but you never know.

Anyway, here's the link with the story and the man's picture. As you can see he's an older white man,looks like he could be an old farmer or laborer.

Please send this out over the Net, maybe someone somewhere will recognize him.

Thanks Mike

I am so glad that she did what all tellers are trained to do, comply and try not excite the robber.

Luckily his intent was to get the money not to harm anyone in the bank.

That is the scariest part of working in a bank.

Love ya,

Sally

I always wondered why people would do this. Now cops will be on the look out for them and they will always need to be on the run. Why ruin your life for some cash?

Anyway, I hope they catch him. Sorry about your granddaughter.

That's terrible. I know bank employees are well trained for such events, but it doesn't remove the trauma when it happens for real.

I used to be in law enforcement and have seen the effects on crime victims first hand. I hope she will be OK.

Luckily, such criminals usually don't do it at the same location a second time.

It's all about how quick you can flee the country before you're caught. If you were to drive straight to the airport before the cops showed up, they might have a bit of trouble locating you. And if you make it to a country that won't extradite you, you just lucked out.

Mike, I'm sorry that your granddaughter had to be scared like that.

I want to thank each and everyone of you for taking the time to read my post and the news article. We also appreciate your comments.

Yes, we are so thankful the she wasn't harmed in any manner. The Good Lord was watching over her.

Our son was murdered down in St Pete 10 years ago. They never did find his killer, even though we feel that it was one of his so-called buddies.

Thank you Dee Jay. Yes, it was quite a shock when our daughter called us from Fl. Especially since she and her hubby are on vacation at Long Boat Key, so when I heard her voice on the answering machine I knew that something bad had happened. No, as far as we know they haven't caught him yet. If they do I'll post it right away.

Anyone that would be dumb enough to ask you, moma Sally or Lizzy for your money would be a "Bloody Fool"..............

I hope your granddaughter is safe.

Having to tell my wife that our son in Florida had been found dead, was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. She took it pretty hard.

OMG Mike I am glad that your granddaughter is okay and I am sorry for your loss those years ago. I can imagine it was a very trying and scary time for her.

You are right it would be kind of funny for someone to try and rob some of us girls, reminds me of the two idiots recently in England that tried to start trouble with the two pit fighters that were out in drag and got knocked out for their stupidity. Way to funny.

Denise, you & I both know that it ain't cool to try and rob folks in Ohio anymore. We carry "bang-bangs"

[Guest Jean Davis]

Ohh My, I'm not sure how I missed this.

I'm glad that your daughter wasn't hurt Mike and I hope there is no lasting effects.

I'm so sorry to hear about your son, it's terrible when such things happen.

What's worse is that the killer was never caught, that means he's still out there.

Thank you Jean. Yes, our grandaughter's doing ok, just a whole lot more aware of who's walking through the bank doors.

Yes, it is very unfortunate that our sons killer has never been caught. There's someone in the trailer park,where he lived, that should be in jail. Funny thing about it, he's just done a show that weekend and had close to a grand on him. He'd called us and was so excited, he was going to get a phone hooked up so we could call him right at his home. We were supposed to go down and see him in 2-3 weeks.

That phone call to his mom was the last time she ever heard his voice. Two weeks later our daughter from Fla called and told me that they had found him in his trailer. They estimated that he's been dead 2 weeks. We knew that he'd made good money at that show, but when his money was counted he had about 2.00 in change. But, from the looks of his place, he'd put up one heck of a fight. Anyway, his killer's still on the loose down there.

Mike that is just awful. When I read your post, I could not help thinking about my youngest daughter who currently works as a cashier at a jewelery store and how horrified and shaken she would be if she were robbed when working there. This got me to thinking.. tellers and cashiers do not get paid enough to have to even experience this kind of trauma. I feel for your grand daughter and I do hope that she is OK psychologically. That experience was extremely stressful. She did not have to be in that situation.

How banks and stores operate need to be fundamentally changed so that the weakest are not directly exposed to robbery. I am glad that she kept her head and followed protocol in this situation. It annoys me that the higher paid people sit in the back rooms safe and away from the psychos, but the young an innocent are there in the front lines subject to this kind of attack.

My heart goes out to you, your grand daughter, and your family.

Love

Brenda
