I didn't even think bank robberies existed anymore. :[ I'm so sorry to hear about this, and I hope things work out. I'm also really thankful you weren't there. Lucky. Very lucky. *HUGS*

No, lol, I live in Aurora so I guess it's to be expected. Why, did something happen down there Friday night?

Awwwwwww. -hug- I really hope everything is all right and I'm really sorry that you have to go through things like that, especially at work where things are supposed to be, y'know, safe...

DON'T BE SCARED! You've avoided three [4?] robberies so far! Hopefully there won't be any more for you to avoid. D:

Oh hon. That is dreadful! I'm so glad you weren't hurt though. Your friends must be terrified though.
