Free T-Shirts Blind Bank Employees from Robbery


Trenton, NJ – A bank robbery that occurred at the National State City Bank at 1 pm yesterday went undetected for an hour because of employees excitement with free t-shirts from the banks radio sponsor, WOOPS.

At approximately 1:45 pm window teller Dana Rothink was returning to her post wearing a free t-shirt decorated with bubbles and stars, when she noticed registers in disarray and the bank’s safe door wide open.

“I guess I got so caught up in things that I wasn’t paying attention,” Rothink said.

Video footage showed the masked robber casually walking into the bank with a gun slung over his shoulder just as employees huddled around the cardboard boxes filled with varying sizes of free t-shirts.

The interoffice interrogation continued with security guard Frank Chiles who had this to say: “Who in their right mind would pass up an opportunity for a free t-shirt?”
