CHICAGO - That was easy.

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.

The FBI said it was investigating the drive-through theft.

The bank is owned by ABN AMRO Holding NV.

Probably a female. She didn't have the courage to actually rob the bank, so she used the ol' tube.

=D

*Starting the battle*

lol why would you give them money if there not even inside that was stupid!!

Bank teller..."I voss chust obeyink ohr-dahs"! Actually, she may have been doing that; many banks (due to their insurance) have standing policies to OBEY any threats instantly, and w/o making any display of fear, but "businesslike" and quickly.

They have the perp on-camera, they know how much he took, and they most likely have his car and plate on film.

It won't take very long to find this bozo.

its also possible they were working together.

Do you want to say no and have the lunatic come into the bank with a machine gun? I wouldn't want to risk it, and especially not for some multibillion dollar corporate bank.

If the robber told her he had a bomb, she would give him the money. Is it worth a few bucks to have the building explode. NO.

Maybe the note stated that they were going to blow up the bank or something? (Dunno) But I agree that must had been some kind of note.
