A would-be bank robber stormed out of his intended target empty-handed after no one took him seriously.
The robber entered the bank in Fairmont, Illinois, with his face covered and a black bag in his hand.
'He told everybody he had a bomb,' Vermilion County Sheriff Pat Hartshorn said.
'He told everybody to get down, that it was a robbery.'
But neither staff nor customers took any notice and he fled empty-handed.

Yes ... that really does serve him right. But I have to say if I had been in the bank I would have been the first one on the floor. I am terrified of the idea of things like that happening !

It makes me think of another TRUE story concerning a rabbit and a snake...
in the 'normal' order of things, it's generally the rabbit which runs away in front of a snake, but look at this video

Soo I wonder how our frighten feeling doesn't influence the behavior of others ? But in front of a robber, I'll stay very suspicious, so insane sometimes...
