THE HOLD-UP JOB

It's tough to queue in a bank without feeling like you're casing the joint.

You're waiting in the queue, you've got nothing better to do, you can’t help but watch when a member of staff types in their little code and goes into the back room. You're counting in your head when that door closes behind them. It buzzes for two, three seconds and you're thinking, "I could get through that. Two strides, I'd be inside. What are they going to do?"

There have to be a few bank robbers who got started like this. They were just queuing for a long time, got bored, saw the opportunity. The CCTV footage shows them standing around, counting the time it takes for that door to close. Just like you or me.
