PEARL RIVER, NY, USA
In New York, nothing is surprising anymore. A man went into a bank in a town just north of the New York City. He had a plastic bag over his head. He approached a teller and handed her a note. The teller took a look at the note. But she couldn't make heads or tails of it. The handwriting was terrible. She excused herself and went to consult with her co-workers. No one could read he note. Finally, one of the clerks figured out part of it. It said, I have a gun. The clerks realized at last that the man was trying to hold up the bank. But when they looked up, the man with the bag on his head was gone. Apparently, he lost his nerve and ran away.
Why didn't the teller react to the plastic bag on the man's head? She said only, I thought maybe he had a skin problem. Police officers are still trying to make sense of the robber's note. The note says he has a gun, but we have to spend more time studying the rest of it, said one officer.
