Oddly enough I always think of how the banks downtown on Newark Ave look like movie set for an old-timey bank robbery.

I dont think bank robbers follow rules very well.

Yea, but by the time they ask them to take it off a gun could already be drawn.

You gotta love this guy, he didn't want anything lower than 10s. Wonder how he ended up with the extra $5.

Don't most banks now have signs stating you have to remove all hats/glasses/etc before entering?

"What's in YOUR wallet?"

I guess this guy can now reply with, "2,245 smackeroos!"

A bank robber walked away yesterday with more than $2,000 from the Capital One Bank on West Side Avenue in Jersey City.

A man wearing shades and wool gloves robbed the Capital One Bank on West Side Avenue in Jersey City of more than $2,000 Saturday morning, police reports said.

The man, who wore red sneakers and was carrying a red backpack, entered the bank shortly before 9 a.m. and slipped a teller a handwritten note that read: "Give me all your 100's, 50's, 20's and 10's Now slowly and no one will get hurt now," reports said.

After the teller handed over $2,245, the robber, whose image was captured by surveillance cameras, fled in an unknown direction. There was no indication from police reports a weapon was shown.

The FBI is investigating.
