Snipers on the roof! At my husband's job!→[More:] There was a hostage situation at a lingerie shop* across the street from his office. SWAT team, swarms of cops, whole nine yards. Which meant he couldn't go make the deposit I needed him to make today! GRRR.

But all is well, hostage released, bad guy captured, and well before the bank closed.

*the kind that is, well, less classy than Victoria's Secret and sells..."marital aids". Heh.

Wouldn't it have been easier for him to just say "sorry honey, I forgot to make that deposit."? :)

So did the dude just walk in the lingerie shop, grab some hosiery off the shelf, and say 'stick 'em up!' or what?

Well, apparently the guy walked in carrying something that "gave the appearance of being a bomb." He held one of the employees hostage, then asked to speak with a specific detective with the police force-apparently he knew the guy.

The police want the two customers who were in the store (who got out) to call them since they are witnesses...yeah, good luck with that.
