She Flunked Handwriting 101

A 16 year old girl in Rochester, NY gave the teller a hold up note. But the handwriting was so bad, the teller couldn't read the note!

She passed the note to another teller to help her figure out what it said. By the time they understood what she wanted, and the money was put in a bag, closing time had arrived, and the outside doors were already locked. When the employees by the door realized what was going on, they quietly allowed the girl to go into the foyer, and then simply closed the inside doors and locked them, trapping her until the police arrived.
