Wow.

 

Gosh, you have to pity someone who would do that.

 

Yeah. Nobody in their wildest dreams would rob $210,000 worth of quarters.

Wonder if he came across any silver quarters?

 

Still not as much as these guys stole back in '82 in Boston

I see bags and bags of quarters and Kennedy halves every day at work. Wishing I could search all those bags. Now and again a silver coin comes across the counter and the cage girls save them for me, but mostly I get old currency for face value. Also we get so many Ikes it's unreal.

 

I have very little or any pity on a thief no matter what he steals.

 

What I mean is that anyone who stole that much money has a very serious problem. I don't necessarily pity him. I pity the fact that someone would steal $210,000. How desperate or greedy you would have to be to do that.

 

Imagine the girls at the bank. "Oh, it's that creepy quarters guy again! It's your turn this time, Delores!"
