Can I have the rest of your brain too?
(Reuters News: 7:12 p.m. ET July 12, 2005)
CHICAGO - A bank robber behind the wheel of his car Tuesday sent a note through a vacuum tube to the teller at the drive-through window at a branch of Chicago’s LaSalle Bank, and the teller obliged, returning an undisclosed amount of cash, police said. The exchange was completed through the bank’s pneumatic tube communications system, in which canisters are passed back and forth between motorist and teller.
PS. The note probably said that if the teller didn't pass over the money, the robber would send a gun next.
PPS. There will be no blog tomorrow as I have to make an unexpected trip to Chicago. I hope to come back a bit richer.
