I heard these were both viral marketing stunts for that new Johnny Depp movie.

We don't need a robbin' hoody ;-)
Perhaps a 'hold the elite accountable' guy…yeah, that we could use.

Seriously? That's what you're going with?
And regarding Robin Hood, as much as we need one I don't think this guy qualifies.

It's the scared-out-of-their-freaking-minds employees that I really feel sorry for. OMG, it must be absolutely mind blowingly horrible.

Well if it was Robin Hood, I'm still waiting for the “give to the poor” part. ;-)

If I'm not mistaken, banks that are FDIC insured are also covered by the government for robberies. Other than scaring the s*** out of the bank employees, I don't think that it actually hurts the banks.

Fair enough, just worried about the slippery slope manifest in popular culture with regard to 'steal from the rich'. It's disgusting.
(I'd jump at the chance to be political here...)
Ya know, I'd like to be rich, so would most folks.
Doesn't mean you're evil, doesn't mean you should be ripped off.
Robin Hood, can't fairly say. Bonnie and Clyde, I can say, evil.
Chase, they should burn, along with their bailout architects...

Love the movie quotes. I didn't catch it, but love it that someone else did…and now I remember…

Hey Chopper, UncleSnuffy said he (assume a “he” as the name is “uncle”) doesn't support robbing banks…maybe lighten up a little. And, please believe me, I say that with respect to you–I love your posts. This is NOT an attack on you AT all!

Just sayin'

Don't tell me that bank robbers will become heroes again. Pathetic.
You folks don't understand the cost, really, do ya?

While I don't support robbing banks, it couldn't have happened to two better banks. Was it Robbin Hood?

Thanks! Kudos for catching it.

Hate to see crime, but two slimy companies hit up . . . karma.

I wish I felt worse about this, but I just can't stand Chase!

Were they using code names?

I saw the police rocketing down Market awhile ago. Now I know why.
I certainly wish that they had been closer, one less thug would be out there.

The cops have a station or something right across the street and are ALWAYS there. Good grief. My gym is right next to there and I always feel safe. Welcome to Ballard, Chase!

We saw two bicycle cops there this morning but it was more like 9am.

I usually see a cop car, or two, parked by the library. This guy was lucky not to get nabbed the second he left the bank. His luck will run out, though.

That is right around the time I saw 3 bicycle cops by the library!

Hey Chase bank, welcome to Ballard…probably just behind on his mortgage and couldn't handle dealing with customer service anymore…
