I got a kick out of this story from today's paper:
Workers Foil Bank Robber; Passers-by Return His Loot
“As the man was leaving the bank, the teller shouted: ‘Stop him! He just robbed the bank!’ ” Mr. Browne said.
The technicians, who were repairing the bank’s A.T.M.s, heard the cry and gave chase, Mr. Browne said. The bank robber ran onto 38th Street, where traffic was at a standstill. As he wove between cars, the technicians grabbed him, the police said, and pushed him onto the hood of a vehicle.
When officers arrived, Mr. Browne said, one of the posse was holding the robber, while the other two were nearby, with a large crowd around them. The cash had scattered, some of it in a small pile between two cars. Pedestrians walked up to police officers or bank employees and handed over bills they had picked up, a witness and the police said.
“Even in the bad economy, all $1,082 that had been scattered before the police arrived was recovered in full,” Mr. Browne said.
And on that happy note, have a great Thanksgiving, everyone!

of course stealing any amount would be wrong regardless but it's really pathetic that someone is robbing the bank for a mere $1082 (logically if you're gonna go out you want to go pretty much all out, right)....and just why the singles?
Madame X, I hope you check out my new PF blog! I'm TeacHer of TeacHer Finance. I'm a new high school teacher learning to manage my finances from PF vets like you. I LOVE your blog and hope you love mine!
A story well worth remembering!
Thank you for sharing useful information.People who have extra money and nice savings accounts such as doctors, lawyers, etc. are not really feeling too much of a squeeze right now. If gas continues to rise and we are paying $7 a gallon by December, I think that is when the professional businesses will start feeling some major pains.

Awww! Love your blog btw, and in an impulsive post today I blurted out the naked truth about my finances. It's more locally oriented, so I can get the people in our country speak up and out against disciminated salaries, but oh well lets see.
