Did you ever know a kid in school that stayed in trouble with the teacher? Not just now and then, but seemingly all the time. I knew a kid like that who spent more time in the cloak room than he did in the classroom. Opps! Looks like the word "cloak room" blew my cover. Cloak rooms haven’t been around for many years.

We’re talking about troublemakers. It’s almost as if they want to get caught. Such is the case with Benny. He’s from North Carolina, but he’s running short of money while visiting reform school classmates in Boston.

Benny once said that Willie Sutton robbed banks because, "That’s where the money is." Benny was no Willie Sutton, but he did think he could get a Boston bank to "finance" him during his personal economic crisis.

Benny scoped out the neighborhood before he selected a bank to rob. It was on a Monday, the first Monday of the month, when Benny walked into the targeted bank with a pistol tucked in his belt.

At the moment of his arrival Benny announced his intentions: "This is a stickup. I’ve got a gun and know how to use it." Speaking to the tellers, the gunman told the ladies to put money from their cash drawers into money bags and put the bags on the counter in front of their windows.

Benny was so busy giving orders that he never looked behind him where five guys wearing suits held guns on him. One of them walked up behind Benny, reached over his shoulder and yanked the gun right out of the bandit’s hand.

What Benny had failed to do when he scoped out the area was notice that two doors down from the bank was the Federal Building. That’s where the government houses its FBI agents. Five of these guys were in line waiting to cash their paychecks when Benny arrived to do his thing.
