Another robber in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., handed a bank teller a note saying he had a pipe bomb and wanted money. The teller told him to wait, so he got back in line. For 20 minutes. By that time, not only was the police in position outside waiting to grab David W. Hindmarsh as he fled with $1,500 in cash, but cameras from local TV stations were there to record the capture for the evening news. Hindmarsh tried to run, but gave up when a police dog got a good grip on his leg. The “pipe bomb” was an empty toilet paper roll. (UPI) ...Same circus, different clown.
