At approximately 3:30 p.m. Monday, First National Bank, at 100
E. Burlington Ave., was robbed by an unarmed masked man.

The man entered and exited the building through the south door (!!!!
so that's where he went wrong!!!)
And I'll bet there was a train whistle blowing at the time too,
obviously disorienting him and causing his brain waves to experience
ever greater waves of incoherence.
A couple of weeks ago there was another robbery, of a convenience
store. Something like 5 or 6 people have been arrested, with still
more "people of interest" still to come--for one little store and a few
bucks. We must have the most inept robbers in the country.
