Is It Really This Easy to Rob a Bank? $300,000 Gone!

The New York Post reported that three men were able to easily grab three hundred thousand dollars from what appears to be a poorly trained Brinks truck driver. I really feel bad for the driver, but how in the world could he let this happen? If you’ve got a bag full of cash, no matter the amount, you don’t just leave it unattended for anyone to pick up and walk away with. Am I right? Yes I am.

The driver left the bag of bills on the bumper of his truck while being distracted by one man who was pretending to ask for directions. While the driver gave the directions, two other men grabbed the bag. This is a scene right out of the movie “Groundhog Day” starring Bill Murray. The difference is that Murray’s character worked alone while the two truck drivers distracted themselves.

The truck was bringing money to the Chase bank on the 5400 block of Eighth Avenue at one in the afternoon on Friday. After the heist, all of the men walked away and are still on the loose. Police told the Post that “there was no indication that the theft was an inside job. It was a crime of opportunity. Someone saw an opportunity.”

I’m not so sure the thieves were just walking down the street, saw the opportunity, and decided to rob a bank. It’s more likely that they’ve been watching the bank to see when the drop-off occurs.

One of the men was “described as a male with a slim build who was last seen wearing a black winter hat, a black hooded jacket, gray pants, and black sneakers.” Another guy had “a medium build, was wearing a black winter hat with white trim, a black winter coat with a hood, gray pants and black sneakers.” And the third man, “is described as having a medium build and was last seen wearing a black winter hat, a black face mask, a black jacket, black pants, black sneakers, and a black backpack, police said”

Police are asking anyone with information to call 1-800-577-TIPS.

I started teaching my son the art of sarcasm at a young age. The beauty of saying one thing and meaning another can be freeing. 

You’re the best. 

Bless you. 

Genius. 

Your mom must be so proud. 

You killed it. 

Sarcasm is a gift and a skill. The slow burn joke that doesn’t truly hit them until moments after the insult is launched…. Even better when not everyone catches the joke. When it comes to honing your sarcasm: practice, practice, practice. 

The following t-shirts are respectable sarcasm gear.  If there’s too much crap blaring on a shirt, I’m out (with a couple of exceptions). Sarcasm t-shirts should reflect the sarcastic nature, but there’s no need to yell. And since sarcasm knows no age, gender, or size boundaries, I looked for t-shirts for a variety of identities. You’re welcome, you ingrate.
