huskered17 Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 A guy who used to work at my company had one of his brother's rob a bank by also passing a note to the teller. Only problem was he wrote it on the back of his check stub. The police were at his house before he got home. GBR!!! Quote Link to comment
