Police don't see the humor in "robbing a bank as a practical joke".

(snip)

Ingram gave Seevers a folded note for the teller and instructed him to not read it, Nagele said,

"At the time, I think he meant to get the note back," Nagele said. "Around the same time, the assistant manager called Ingram over. He was kind of sidetracked from getting the note back."

Nagele and the other men apparently did not give the matter any more thought -- even after Nagele heard Seevers behind him at the bank, informing the teller that he had a note from his manager. Nagele said he figured it must be a note asking for coin wrappers or change, a common-enough errand.

Nothing appeared amiss until Seevers was about 10 feet outside of the bank and the dye pack went off, Nagele said.

6. Or you can be a Republican CEO who

hires a cadre of stockbrokers to hype your otherwise worthless company, then before it becomes apparent to Joe Q. Stockholder that he has been scammed, announce a major restructuring where most of the company's money goes down a vortex that leads to the Cayman Islands.
