Well, the funny thing was, when we go to get rid of it, we wrap it in a bed sheet, and we put it in the car, and then we go to this thing the train drives over. I can't remember it for the life of me. A bridge that a train drives over. A trellis. And we walk up on the train tracks, and we're doing one, two, three, and we throw it into the river.

They got a top drawer, they got a bottom drawer. Bottom drawer is where most of the bills are. If you tell them not to do something, they're instructed and trained to listen to you. Their job is to get you out of the bank as quickly as possible and ensure the safety of the people that are in the bank. So I knew I didn't need a gun. I knew I could do it with a note.

And I knew that if I went about doing it the way I wanted to do it, I'd be in and out of a bank in 20 seconds. I'm just grabbing the money from one or two drawers. I'm in and out. And that's what I started doing. And next thing you know, we're running through 15 grand in a couple of days. It's amazing how quickly you just piss through money when it's free.

You know, it's like when you're actually working for money, which I found, I didn't find this out until I got out of prison this last time. But like when you actually work for money, you're more inclined to think about what you're going to spend it on rather than just buy whatever you see in front of you because you're just going to go steal some more money. Right.

So the bank robbery that we got arrested for, um, the day before the bank robbery, we had gotten off the highway and we're at a gas station and we're outside smoking a cigarette. And my co-defendant points out a little strip mall. It's behind the gas station and And then probably six feet down, there's like a little hill. So it's kind of like you can't really see it that well from the gas station.

And I look over and there's a bank there. I think it was the first bank of New England or something like that. New England National. I can't remember. Something New England was in there. And I go, you know what? That's a good one. We could hit that one first thing tomorrow morning. And he's like, yeah, that's a good idea. So we wind up.
