That is the bank in front of the Office Bar. It was hit a while ago by some guy who left the bar, robbed the bank, and walked back into the bar as if nothing happened.

"white male in his 50s" describes the Office Bar patrons more than most of the robbers around Mtn View. (Yeah, I know, that's not PC. Feel free to pull out the race card.) Anyway, I'd put even money on the Office Bar connection.

Maybe he was a recently laid off Mountain View teacher.

Hmmm, you know, that does describe Craig Goldman. Maybe he's out to raise $6 million in small, unmarked bills.

I hope he left my CD intact. LOL. Our politicians and city Officials steal more everyday than these small time bank thieves by paying themselves very high salaries,travel perks, leasing expensive cars,etc..

Maybe it was that gadfly Ghysels, soon to be out of a job since "market conditions" don't seem to be in his favor at the moment.

I fit that description, but it wasn't me. Did that bank have another name previously?
