Bank robbers wives!

Imagine the planning that goes into stealing almost £50 million pounds (or about 8 billion dollars, it sounds SO much more). It must take months and months of planning, scoping the joint, spying on people who work there, learning the routines of the place, getting the top criminal masterminds involved and copies of those funny blueprints of the layout that they always have in films. Then the day dawns. It goes without a hitch. Brilliant! The TV is full of reports about the heist, the amount stolen goes up every half hour, everyone is amazed at the nerve of the robbers! You are made for life, if there’s 50 people involved, that’s still a cool million each. And who knows 50 criminal masterminds who can keep a secret?

But then your wife decides to go to the bank. And pay in her share of it. And she forgot to take the wrappers off the bundle. These handily say “from Tonbridge”.

Any criminal mastermind knows you lie low for at least 3 months, you don’t go the bank and say “I’ve suddenly come into some money. Can I open a high interest account please?”
