This is a robbery.
Don’t be nervous and act fast.
Go to your first drawer and give me
all the loose $100, $50, and 20’s.
Go to your second drawer and
give me any large bills
without GPS or dye packs
or you will be hurt.
Do it fast. Think of your family.

** suspect got spooked and left bank; arrested in his car outside. Earned nickname
from prev heist wearing a scarf over his face and telling the teller he had H1N1.
