The greatest bank robbers?
 
Now, see, i would never have considerd this particular risk to bank security...


Quote:

Staff at an Indian bank have been blamed for allowing termites to eat their way through banknotes worth millions of rupees.

Staff at the bank, in the state of Uttar Pradesh, are reported to have been found guilty of "laxity".

The insects are believed to have chewed their way through notes worth some 10 million rupees ($225,000/£137,000).

A similar incident happened in 2008, when termites in Bihar state ate a trader's savings stored in his bank.

I didn't know laxity was a crime. That's what you take when you can't, um...poo?

Termites are creepy little mother (hush yo mouth!)

I'm pretty excited for this (semi-factual?) movie about a bank robber: a long distance runner who starts robbing banks for supplemental income, using his legs to get away.
