I think it took a lot of guts for this guy to rob a bank but the people in the bank leave something to be desired as far as I'm concerned. I can't believe nobody could stop this guy!Witnesses say the man's legs were wrapped in bandages and his right leg was sticking straight out while he zoomed away. What were the people in the bank thinking? I don't understand why not one person could have followed this 60 year old man out of the bank do you? http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080404/ap_on_fe_st/wheelchair_bank_robbery;_ylt=Ai6JysAOB82S5yc5715dIwUZ.3QA

How was that possible if the guy was in a wheelchair? I mean the person could not have moved that fast that someone could not have stopped him. Was he armed? That might explain why nobody went after him.

The story didn't mention if he was armed but it did say he was in an electric wheelchair so I guess they go pretty fast! But THAT fast?

Maybe they were stunned that a 60 year old man in a wheel chair would even attempt to rob a bank. I dont know. I really can't understand it myself, especially in this day and age when robbing a bank takes a lot of guts anyways.. Where are the self proclaimed super heroes that stop this crap any other time?

I was thinking the same thing. There is always a so called super hero around but not one in this bank...very surprising to me.
