Must be that nice neighborhood they're in.

I don't think this was a professional robbery.

I think it was an amateur who was winging it.

[Billsman]

The person robbed was said to be Saucey!

Police said the HSBC Bank bag contained a "substantial amount" of cash.

I'd question the employee, could be an inside job.

I heard that it was over 30 grand.... The Anchor bar is right on the edge of the hood I must say...

Robbing the Anchor bar is like spray painting the Lincoln Memorial. It just ain't done. Hope they catch the guy and put the screws to him. You don't rob an icon.

As well as sides of celery and bleu cheese.

...bleu cheese.

What are you? ****ing French? Blue cheese.

[Billsman]

It was probably a Kanadian. Rob, gotta have my Bleu cheese and celery.

Deposit bag robberies are usually inside jobs, i.e. the guy making the deposit puts a buddy up to it and they split the proceeds.

[Billsman]

That was a lot of money to have around. I dont understand why they dont have brinks trucks scheduled to come by.

It was Monday right? It was their Weekend receipts, so they knew what they were hitting. On a side note, anyone who uses their Bleu Cheese for anything other than celery or carrots, they're disgracing the spicy soul of Buffalo. And if you must dip your wings, Get Your Own Damn Cup!!! :D

Yeah, the amount I heard was $32,000. I'm betting it was a former employee who knew when deposits were made and the when the deposit was going to be large.

I once had a job delivering product to restaurants and would usually end the day with $5000 in cash and another $5000 in checks in my pocket.

Anyone used it for lube ?

Must be an inside job----why else would the robber know that they were bringing the $ to the bank at 10:30 am.

No descriptions of a get away car? Sounds strange.

Ever tempted to arrange for a robbery, Noc?
