Bank Robbery?

Your money isn't safe in the bank until the bank has control of it.

A quick-thinking and outright ballsy con man tapped an HSBC customer on the shoulder and pointed out that he had dropped some cash. When the man bent down to pick up the four $20 bills, the crook grabbed the man's pile of cash off the counter and zipped out the door. The stack was $236,000.

Most HSBC branches in Hong Kong don't employ guards; the teller windows have security glass. Other banks have security that ranges from a lone man with a billy club, to one or two men toting single-barrelled pump-action shotguns.

Guard or no, whoever the robber is, he's got cajones of stone.
