‘Tis the season…to rob banks?

2 January, 2008 (13:55) | Pittsburgh

What the heck is up with all the bank robberies in the pittsburgh area recently?!?!  HOLY CRAP.  I think since they filmed that FX movie with Donny Wahlberg about a bank robbery in the city, there have been nearly a dozen.  It’s ridiculous.  You’d think after the first couple that other banks would be thinking, "hmmm, maybe we should invest in better security."  I bet people who are desparate enough to rob a bank right now are thinking, "Wow, if that many people can rob a bank and get away with it, maybe I can."  It’s dumbfounding how so many are going on.  Let me try and count all the headlines…

There were a few convenient store robberies as well.  Is this just the holiday season or what?  I just don’t understand how these people are robbing these banks.
