I tell you, we are in for a banner year for robberies as the economy falls to pieces.

The banks should begin redesigning - customers only have access to teller by means of video - personal kiosks....this will eliminate everyone from coming in personal contact with tellers..same with fast foods, hotels, any business. Personal contact will have to be done away with as everyone will be labeled a potential criminal.

I guess he didn't display a weapon, but did he at least claim to have one?

He probably had a note saying, "I have a gub...I mean gun." The life and times of Virgil Starkwell, inept bank robber. But, he did seem to get away, so maybe he isn't too inept.
