12 October 2007

Oh, this is just wonderful. It appears that the bank right next door to my office just got robbed.[More:]It's swarming with police and the forensics van just pulled up. I am happy that I kept the front door to our building locked this morning.
Yikes. Hope everyone is OK.

Just how common are bank robberies these days? I feel like I know a lot of people who were in one or near one.

Ack. It will keep the day at the office lively, though, huh?

Goodness. That locked door was fortunate. Good that you were not involved!

Makes me think - I'm always here at least an hour before anyone else, and I don't keep the door locked...

Wonder how long it will be before the police come to see if you saw anything? I suppose they talk to all the locals...

Oh, and the news tonight. There will be the local shot "live" at the scene. (hours after anything actually happend of course)

I don't believe there were any injuries, since I haven't seen any emergency vehicles, only police. I guess this kind of thing is much more common in this particular neighborhood than in the one we were located in before. Lots of vandalism, break-in attempts, car thefts, etc.

There has already been a news van here as well. But it's gone now; good riddance, I say.

Woo hoo! My car made the news!

Okay, so it's almost invisible, but it's there in the background, I swear. And that white building behind the drive-thru area is where I'm sitting right now.

It wasn't me this time.

My great-grandfather was a bank robber, but I don't think it was him this time either. He died about twenty-five years ago, so, you know. Most likely not him.

Do you lust after hand jobs as much as I do? || Sir spillage + their new toy.
