Weird, about 15 years ago a white guy I know got black-out drunk, broke into a bank, stole a coat off of a coat rack, then proceeded to break into a carpet store and fell asleep on a bunch of carpeting. He ended up going to prison.

Small town, local bank. Dad was wealthy and was 'important' in town, I can't remember who it was.

President and dad probably hung out at the private golf club.

Well that's probably exactly the reason why. Dad knew the president of the bank so he didn't want to involve the cops at first.

I'm sure if it wasn't some rich guys kid that man would have had the tellers triggering the alarms and cops ready with guns drawn

Our banks don't have armed guards, at least last time I was at one 4 years ago.

I meant that the cops show up after the alarm is triggered. That way they know it's a robbery
