the bank robbers who hit a local bank on a Saturday morning only to find the main lobby doors locked so they walked up to the drive thru window and tried to rob the bank that way. The teller, who was behind thick bullet resistant glass, didn't cooperate with them so the robbers ran off on foot only to be apprehended in a near by swamp.

DALLAS - A failed bank robber may want to pay attention to the saying, "Never underestimate the power of a good plan."

Police say a man armed with a knife -- possibly as big as a machete -- tried to rob a bank in East Dallas Tuesday morning. The trouble was, he tried to rob the drive-through.

Officers surrounded the Comerica Bank at 11155 Garland Road near Jupiter Road after the man threatened a teller at the drive-through around 10:30 a.m.

The suspect grew frustrated and ended up running away with nothing.

There was a story like this a few years ago, which I meant to search the web for, but I accidentally searched the news instead and found another example from a few weeks ago

6. Another robbery nearby that went bad

In a very small town not far from where I live, a guy pulls into the bank branch parking lot. He gets out of his car wearing a mask. However, people know who he is because they recognize his car (this being a very small town). He robs the bank, gets into his getaway car and drives off to his hideout which is his home. He hides the car by leaving it parked in the front driveway.

If I recall correctly, the police had him arrested in about 15 minutes from the time he robbed the bank.

Having them in the front would be just plain nasty.
