old man

Today I was cutting through the BYU Bookstore to get to my bus stop. I glanced at the credit union stationed inside of it and noticed an armored truck guard walking out with a bag. Seeing the man a thought struck me, and I'm not sure that I should share it because I could get in trouble if someone acted on it. I am going to share this thought because it seemed quite funny to me at the time.



The Victim: The guard. He was well passed the age of retirement. He should have been home sitting on the front porch in a rocker reminiscing about the good ol' days. His back was hunched over, and his footsteps were very small shuffles.

The Crime: Steal money.Walk up to the guard, grab the bag, push him over and run.

The Motive: Easy money.



Would it be possible? I think so. Before he could even pull out his gun or radio (if he wasn't paralyzed from the fall), you could be outside of the Wilkinson Center walking like a normal student carrying a shoulder bag. Simply walk to your car (or steal one- you might as well go all the way, right? You did just push over an old man...) and drive to Mexico. I mean, it's BYU. No one would think that a person would push over a harmless old man and STEAL money from him. It's not that BYU students are above crime; it just rarely happens. That's why it would be possible

Mr. Anonymous,I realize that there are cameras, but if it's a student watching them, they're probably doing homework like most student employees.

And you're missing the irony of the situation.
