In and Out of Time
PROLOGUE His eyes lit upon his sister’s carved image of the flying dragon in the cornerstone of the chipped tile that lent a bit of support to the bottom of the pedestal. This has to be it, Charlie ran through his mental notes for the hundredth time already. This is the cracked marble pedestal that his sister described to him in such detail as she lay dying from her riding injury before she just up and disappeared from the hospital altogether. When their family were finally contacted by the American Embassy they commenced to “raising hell the MacLeod way” as his sister would always say, with the Crown who already had enough on their hands what with having to deal with the loss of the Queen’s own husband and the errant young prince, the son of the soon to be King, who had the misfortune of marrying a very unpopular American actress. At least unpopular there in the United Kingdom. From the looks of things, it seemed that she was starting to not look so favorable with some of the Americans either.

Ten of the Smallest (and Most Bizarre) Bank Robberies
When you think of a bank robbery, the typical movie scenes tend to come to mind. A group of criminal masterminds who have spent a tremendous amount of time studying bank floor plans and security carefully execute a plan to heist large sums of money with the hopes of never being caught.Additionally, given that someone caught robbing a bank faces a penalty of up to 20 years in prison, it would only make sense that anyone willing to commit such an offense would also be looking for their crime to “pay.”There have been incredibly large bank heists throughout history, such as the Dar Es Salaam bank robbery in 2007, where $282 million was taken. But below, you will read stories that are quite the opposite. From strange motives to fake weapons and loot that was gambled away, this list contains 10 of the smallest (and quite possibly the most bizarre) bank robberies.
