Just Missed a Bank Robbery...
 
Yesterday I wanted to put money in the bank before I went to court and wasn't positive the bank opened at 9am. So I pulled into the bank and saw a "customer" waiting in his car by the door.

Good sign I thought and proceeded to wait near the drive-through part. However, when it didn't open at 9:00 sharp, I wondered if I was mistaken and pulled around the bank to see if the hours were on the door.

I couldn't read the sign on the door from my car and the other "customer" was in the closest non-handicapped spot near the door so I thought I would wait a couple more minutes and went back to the drive-through part around the other side of the building.

At last the "open" light was on so I deposited my money and saw through the window that the other customer was just then walking inside. As I pullled away, the "customer" pullled out a gun! (But I didn't see that part. Didn't know about it til today).

Boy was I glad I didn't go inside the bank as I most often do! I would have been late for court for sure! :igotit

Wow.....that's why it's always good to pray everyday for protection!

Glad you weren't late for court - lol!

Your day was different, most days it is the Banks that rob us.

Glad you're OK ! Hey maybe you can represent the guy when he goes to trial...when they catch him.

Newman 04-06-2007 03:17 PM

It is interesting because you have to wonder how things could have happened differently.

I wonder if its possible that had I gone into the bank; he wouldn't have.

And I wonder how I would have reacted had I been in the bank. Would I have been afraid or quietly confident? Would I have cooperated or become indignant? There is no way to know. One can only speculate... :cool:

Interesting... and a bit fascinating.

Glad you're okay!

Or you could be "making your way toward the light" while the doctors are trying to save you! Glad you are safe.

Glad you're okay Newman. Maybe you'll be testifying and those lawyers can grill you. ;)

Trouvere 04-07-2007 02:14 AM

Glad you are ok. It is amazing how often God protects us from things.

I have been in the bank when it was robbed.

My heart nearly dropped.

I was a bank teller and the bank was closing in 15 minutes.

Dumb! Folks come and get the money on saturday to go shopping. :)
