Weird Sight at my Bank

On It — Fri, 25 Feb 2022 20:27:29 GMT

My husband had to go inside the main bank to complete a transaction. I waited in the car. I saw a woman walking toward the entrance with a duffle bag type piece of luggage on wheels. It looked so odd to see someone entering with that. It was clearly empty and light enough to be carried.

After a while, she came outside rolling the bag which was bulging. It was stuffed. What in the world was in that bag? Ransom money, cash for real estate, dirty laundry, or things from her desk. I will never know. I have officially watched way too many episodes of Law & Order.

Maybe things from her safe deposit box.

Now see I am Sicilian and my mind went to I hope someone unzips it soon and lets the bank manager out because somebody really didn't like bank policy...

Cleary your imagination is running away with you.

If it were money or valuables, she would have had a security guard accompanying.

Maybe it was her Mary Kay collection, to cash in on her pink cadillac.....

My daughter-in-law told this story a few years ago:

She and my son were long-time customers of a major bank until their acount got hacked, or her identity had been stolen for the second time---can't recall that detail.

She closed the account and was led into a private room in the back of the bank and given every dollar in their account--in cash.

She went down the road to another major bank, carting this heavy load of bills. She wasn't given a certified bank check for some reason.

This made by laugh.........that's what drug dealers and money-launderers do all the time.

She thought it was pretty funny, too.

@KingstonsMom Not necessarily. Best way to call attention to the fact that you have money or valuables is to have a guard with you! Makes you an instant target. Many years ago I took some rainy day cash out of a safe deposit box.

The manager offered to walk me the 15 steps out the door to my car. I told him "no thanks" for the same reason.

@Love my grandkids

C'mon, do you not recognize a joke when you see one?

Hey, when you're waiting in the car the mind wanders, I would have wondered too. 😹

Perhaps items from her safe deposit box.

@KingstonsMom Actually yes I do, to answer your question, however it was meant.

As you may know, it's not always easy to tell what is a joke or serious from something that is posted. Ok? ok.

That is exactly what happened. Because of my limited mobility I wait in the car a lot. I am always guessing who people are, what are they doing, etc. to pass the time.

However, that large duffle bag needed attention.

Maybe there are prizes for opening an account? A really big account??

Maybe they save shredded paper for her. People use it as packing material and for bedding for small pets.I use to collect it from my office for my son who worked in a pet store.

Maybe was an employee who'd been fired and was using the duffle to carry out the stuff from her desk.

I think it's more likely that it was someone taking out a boatload of cash though. I've seen a few posts saying that people intended to do that because they feared their bank was going to get hacked due to current events.

Just don't get pulled over with too much cash. In many places the police can confiscate it if it's over a certain amount.

My first thought when I read your post was that she was withdrawing all of her funds out of the bank. After what happened across our Northern border, with bank accounts being frozen, etc. etc. maybe she doesn't trust the government. What's to stop them from doing the same thing?

Perhaps she'd rather bury it in her backyard.

Withdrawing stuff from her safe deposit box might be more applicable. But that must have been one or more really large boxes to contain that much stuff. Hmmmmmm.
