The Greenback Bank has been robbed many times over its eighty-year history, but the staff will never forget one particular robber. He wasn’t particularly bright or very violent, but he did have a remarkable car.
The robber came in with a pistol and demanded money. The tellers smiled pleasantly, complied with the robber’s demands, watched which way the robber turned, then called up the road to warn the gas station attendant. The gas station attendant saw the car speed by and called ahead to the police department, who promptly arrested the suspect.

As the officer said, “It’s not every day you see a 1961 Red Edsel that screams Arrest me! ”
There were only two cars like it in the entire state.
