And since I know most people don't click it here is what it says ...
MONTGOMERY TOWNSHIP, N.J. – 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]
How funny is that!?!? I laughed so hard when I read this I just HAD to share! It's a good comic relife from all the other sad news stories these days. What do you think about it?

Thanks for sharing this. This is funny. The cops are never there in time when we need them sometimes and then when we do not they are out in force.
It not their fault really and I am glad they acted on it, but imagine being that swat guy when he found out it was cardbord figure. I wonder if he laughed or if he was really mad. I bet he laughed too. Take care and thanks again.
