I bet "me on Jan 5, 2009 at 07:20 PM" will never hold a job as a high level security agent! Every thug and crack head in Huntington will be staking out the drive-thru now. Give this person the employee of the month award.

hey chris um weres the jobs? alot of placing closing down,being laid off, and ya all say get a job geeze, when i took the deposits to the bank at night when i worked for a video store, I drove my car to were all i had to do was reach out the window and place it in the deposit shoot, and another employee followed and parked in the other way blocking any attempts. I am not making excuses for any one,but sometimes good people does stupid things when they think they have no other choices.and make a very bad descion, but the others are just doing this because they can and they get a high from the thrill of doing it. my advice is either hire a security guard for deposits or wait til the next morning and have it in an unmarked container

I work at a TB in Huntington. Our store manager leaves the store and comes through the drive-thru and picks up the deposit bag. She then rolls up her window and takes it to the bank. It seems to work for us. Other stores hsould try that and see if ot works for them also.

maybe he should have made a "run for the border" if he didn't want to get caught :)

For once I agree with you, gvn. Looks like you may be coming around to my way of thinking after all. Good luck.

Did he steal food?

In the bay area of San Francisco some stores have armed guards with riot shotguns stationed behind oneway glass . Sometimes people get brave enough to attempt armed robbery anyway but they generally leave feet first in a body bag .

Since their are more robberies going on now with night shift taking the money to the bank and now people are bolder to do it in the morning. Why not notify the police for an escort to the bank. Even an undercover who will watch the person take it to the bank. Since their seems to be so much happening now with criminals stealing bank deposits. Their has to be some kind of camaras showing something. Unless this person worked their and knew the routine. But still if you had a cop follow you or meet you there this kind of stuff would not be taking place and they would catch the person.
