Cardboard Cutout Robs Bank

[Manic]

Jersey's finest at work, folks.



MONTGOMERY TOWNSHIP, N.J. (AP) --

A standoff at a New Jersey bank is over after police learned a "person" seen inside was actually a full-size cardboard figure.

Officers went to the PNC Bank in Montgomery Township on Thursday night after an alarm went off. They saw what they thought was at least one person through the windows of the bank, which had its blinds drawn.

The area was sealed off and three nearby apartment buildings were evacuated as a precaution. Meanwhile, authorities used bullhorns and made telephone calls in a bid to make contact with whoever might be in the bank.

After repeatedly failing to get a response, a SWAT team entered the building and discovered the cardboard figure.

It was not immediately clear what set off the bank alarm.

I know what they feel like, the other day I thought my speaker system was a monster. I kept trying to feed it so it would be too full to try and eat me. It wasn't until I gave it some coke and it shorted out that I realized my mistake .




On a serious note, were there customers in the bank when this happened? Musta been a mind **** if there were, suddenly the alarm goes off and armed police surround the bank, yet there's nothing going on inside the bank.

Either way, a good laugh. They must have felt very stupid having a stand off with an inanimate object for a few hours.

If I had my way, I'd put that sick son of a ***** in the same room with Mister T.

Good riddance.

I would love to have been in the room after the SWAT team came back from that. I am sure they caught hell. Funny...
