Detained while CRH'ing
I thought I just had to share this story with you guys. Today during my lunch break I stopped at a branch I go every couple weeks to drop off 2 boxes of halves. The deposit was uneventful and the teller was nice, but as I turned to leave, I was greeted by a police officer very intent on knowing who I was and telling me to take my hand out of my pocket.
He proceeded to detain me for about 40 minutes through plenty of questions about where I got the coins, what I was doing with them, etc.
Anyways, about 20 minutes in, he explained a Brinks truck was robbed about 2 hours from me with in the last week and one of the tellers called the police on my deposit because they had received a notice about the robbery.
And I thought skunk boxes were tough enough - now I have to prove to police officers that I'm not the bank robber they think I am!
To end the story, the officer finally apologized and thanked me for being patient and I went on my way. The thing that really annoyed me though, was that once the teller called the police on me, no one from the branch said a single word to me again. No - "I'm sorry we had to call the police because of our policies, but thank you for being cooperative" etc.
On a positive note, I turned some of my deposit into $140 in dimes and got 3 keepers. Then went to another bank to pick up $100 in machine rolls and got 11 40% and 1 walking liberty!
