It was a joke, gentlemen....a job application to a thug is like a cross to a vampire.

One sure-fire way to avoid robberies is to put your deposit cash in an envelope marked, "JOB APPLICATIONS" in big letters.

I hear ya.

Back in the '80's I owned a business and we had to make cash drops at 2-3am.

We never made them alone.

In fact, my security guy used to dismount from his motorcycle and stand armed in the light of the night drop.

Just an hour ago and after dark my wife and I were doing our weekly grocery shopping in a large, national chain.

As I was standing by the front door and as my wife was checking out....a young clerk was clearing out the registers and pushing a cart with thousands of dollars in plain sight.

No one seemed the least bit aware of what they were doing or the risk they were taking.

I said a quiet prayer that nothing would develop and I'd have to use the little, stainless Officers I was carrying under my shirt.

Good grief.....operating a business that way sure puts a lot of innocent employees, mostly kids, at a terrible risk.
