Catch Me If You Can!

Narrator relates his heist of a LA bank he performed while evaluating potential for security dots at modern American banks.

Well, here's a fun heist-themed institution design improvement vignette inspired by the clever Spielberg film Catch Me If You Can (Leo DiCaprio). Enjoy,

My name's Isaac. I did a special counterfeit related banking security metric at an impressive LA bank. During this security inspection performed by me, a regular civilian, I managed to rob the bank. Do you want to know how I did it? It's quite a nifty story really!

Here's the bank I went to for the security inspection and robbery on a day in October in the new millennium. It's a very nice bank in Los Angeles (USA). As you can see by the structural impressions of the building of the bank, it stands as an architectural totem to the grandness of modern institutional design work and construction. The interior is also well organized and maintained!

So I walked up to the teller window at the LA bank and presented my open briefcase to the teller. The teller saw that the briefcase contained conterfeit money bills in groups and a small handgun. The teller looked up at me in shock, at which point I immediately leered towards him through his window-hole and explained to him carefully, "See that guy across your teller window standing in line? He's my partner. He has a gun too. Now, you have two choices today. You can either inspect if my money in my briefcase is real or counterfeit and take my handgun and turn me over to the police and press your alarm-button and take a gamble to see if my partner has a gun or not and is crazy enough to shoot this place up with bullets; or, you can walk me to the vault-room discreetly without informing the guards or your bank co-workers and allow me to peacefully take $2 million of your federally insured cash into my briefcase and duffel-bag and walk out without any fuss or violence today." Of course, there was no other partner working with me in the bank at the time. I just said that to scare the teller at the bank to help me with my heist design. He remained calm and obeyed.

What did I learn from this eerie and eccentric bank heist of $2 million at the LA bank that day in October? I learned that modern banks are quite secure and impressive and offer much impositions and impediments to thieves trying to simply walk in as bandits or cowboys and just lift money from the bank vaults and safe-boxes. However, I also learned that with a little fidgeting about the processing of bank money and infrastructural interior management, one can move money in and out of banks, be it with counterfeit activity or armed plans, and thereby illuminate some of the grand institutional threads that construct our modern federalism-based American banking system. In other words, I also learned that the modern American bank is like a 'silo' of diaries!

FBI: "We don't know who this bank robber was, and he's disappeared, and someone sent an anonymous notice to the Los Angeles Times regarding the improvement of modern banking security systems, and we remain passionate about the intention to use detective work and security analyses to create enhanced modern institutional diligence!"

I like the use of first person in this piece. It's a refreshing change.

Ever thought of doing a pirate story? My husband has been listening to a song about a pirate ship lately: https://youtu.be/IqHKqqjc1o4
