I always have been nervous going into the bank to get my own money. Its funny to me we have a trillionaire that probably has never once had this feeling.

    Except you also have to have your card/phone and know your pin. It’s actually one of the hardest places to steal from.

    I have an uncle who used to do security for a major department store. This was over 40 years ago. They had an issue where entire racks of clothes were going missing. One time it was even two complete pallets, not even unpacked yet, they were received and then just missing. After the investigation they discovered a guy had clothes that looked similar to their uniform walked in confidently, released the locks on the wheels of the rack, rolled it into the back, another guy pulled up in a van, they put the whole rack in the back and drive off. He kinda looked like he belonged so no one questioned him.

    The pallets, again same guy just walked into back room found a forklift, picked them up, loaded them into a rental truck and drove off.

    Stealing is easy, it’s not getting greedy and being able to not get caught is the issue.
