A man who wanted to commit a bank robbery walked into a branch of the Bank of Queensland, sat down in the reception area and wrote out a crude message on a deposit slip which read as follows: "Put all ya muny in this beeg."  He then stood in line, waiting to hand his note to the teller when it was his turn to be served. But as he stood there in the queue, he began to worry that a man had looked over his shoulder to read his note and thought he might call the police before he reached the teller's window. So he quickly left the premises and crossed the street to enter a branch of the NAB Bank.

After waiting in line for a few minutes, it was finally his turn to speak to the teller, who was a woman. He handed his note to her, she read it and, surmising from his spelling errors that he wasn't the brightest light in the Harbour, told him that she couldn't accept his stick-up note because it was written on a Bank of Queensland deposit slip and that he would either have to fill out an NAB deposit slip or go back to the Bank of Queensland. Looking somewhat defeated, the man said, 'OK' and left. He was arrested a few minutes later as he was waiting in line back at the Bank of Queensland!

This also happened in Brisbane!

Case Number Four

A guy walked into a little corner store in Cairns (Queensland) with a shotgun and demanded all of the cash from the till. After the female cashier put the cash into his bag, the robber spotted a bottle of Scotch on a shelf behind the counter. So he told the assistant to put it in the bag as well. But she refused, saying, "I can't let you have any alcohol because I don't believe you are over 21."
