<p>[QUOTE=&quot;vwap, post: 280513, member: 10114&quot;]Yikes... Lately, I&#039;ve been calling banks prior to driving there to check whether or not they&#039;ve got halves to avoid wasting my time and for their convenience (should they need to grab the coins at a less-busy time during the day). </p><p><br /></p><p>Apparently, this bank &quot;operations supervisor&quot; I was speaking to interpreted &quot;Can I come by now, or do you need time to grab them from the vault?&quot; as: &quot;I&#039;m coming by to rob you in a moment.&quot; Or something of the sort. I showed up and there was an officer inside the branch, and another sitting outside (no idea they were there for me at the time). </p><p><br /></p><p>After grabbing my halves from behind the counter, she proceeded to lecture me about never asking about the vault in any bank, how that really &quot;spooked everyone here. That&#039;s why the police are here.&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>Now, I&#039;ve had some banks tell me right out -- &quot;We can&#039;t go back into the vault until tomorrow morning,&quot; or &quot;Come by in a few hours so we have some time to head into the vault and retrieve the coins for you.&quot; Other times, I&#039;ll head into the bank and have to wait quite some time for people to become available to head back to the vault (and don&#039;t mind the wait if I&#039;m there). Didn&#039;t know &quot;vault&quot; was such a taboo word.</p><p><br /></p><p>Out of the hundred or so banks I&#039;ve called (with the same exact questions), this is the first that&#039;s been super paranoid.. Next time I&#039;m going to rob a bank, I&#039;m certainly going to call in advance and let them know... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Now I&#039;ve probably got my name (she asked for my name as we were hanging up the phone), picture, and car license plate (cop in the parking lot probably ran a check), tagged somewhere as &quot;suspicious/crazy coin collector/bank robber.&quot; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
