Laura, can u think on a reason why most articles on bank robberies- do not contain the amount taken? U owe an apology to bank employees who are exposed these dangerous situations.
How would you think Laura’s reply would go? “As a reporter covering this story, I apologize to the bank teller who was assaulted.” Is that what you’re thinking?
Bank robbery is mostly a dummies crime. Most articles are written to deter dummies. No amount- dye packs- sequential serial #- FBI follow-up. These items were missing, instead the guys that normally steal backpack and phones would read that these wow just write a note and get $700. By adding the amount and no futher items to deter was reckless.
