(Although I did wish otherwise for a day.)
However. Posting long enough to point out this as an example of why weird weapons and animals show up in my fic. (Well, I get teased about barnyard animals, anyway....) I guess it comes of living in the South?
Robber Uses Pitchfork to Hold Up Bank
AIKEN, S.C. - A robber who used a rusty pitchfork to stick up a bank got away -- and so far, finding him has been like looking for a needle in a haystack.
The man, wearing sunglasses and a mask, entered Security Federal Bank Tuesday morning and threatened employees with the 4-foot-long pitchfork. The man took an undisclosed amount of money.
The robber dropped the farm tool as he ran from the bank through a wooded area to a golf course behind the bank, police said.
Bloodhounds tracked the robber to a fast food restaurant parking lot, where police say the man got into a white van driven by a woman.
No customers were in the bank during the holdup, and no one was injured.
