When I first heard this I was amazed. I thought it was impossible to
rob a bank and get away with it. I know stealing is wrong, but I think its pretty B.A. that this guy robbed a bank, was photographed and got away. I always hear about bank precautions that makes robbing a bank seem like mission impossible. If this guy never gets caught, that would be really cool. It would be like living in a movie. I wonder if this guy had a really good plan or if he just did it impulsively. Regardless if it was planned or not, I give this criminal kudos for getting away with a bank robbery. I secretly wish I could be a bank robber. The rewards are great, but I don’t even want to take a chance with the consequences.
