[QUOTE="XD-9Guy, post: 1575517, member: 4869"] It's likely a strategy, if you say you have a bomb in a briefcase it immediately distracts the teller because they're focused only on the case. Then when you leave, the teller says "it's a bomb!" & then everyone is focused on the case - nobody follows you out to get a tag # or a description of your vehicle, they may not even watch you leave because they are all scared and looking at the case. Also curious, are the consequences less severe with an implied weapon as opposed to an actual weapon? i.e. pointing a gun at a teller vs keeping one hand in your pocket to give the impression that you have a gun. I have heard that might be true, but not from anyone that would actually know. That may have been a part of the robbers plan too. What you actually posses is irrelevant these days anyway. When I was robbed at a bank it was done with only a note that said "put the money in the bag" & it specified denominations, there wasn't even a threat on it. But the money is all insured & people aren't replaceable so the bank ALWAYS wants you to give up the money. When it is observed, cash drawer management ensures that robbers leave with pretty insignificant amounts anyway & they will nearly always leave with bait money too, if the teller was trained in how to respond.
