The Newest Deterrent to Bank Robberies

A bank in DuPage County is asking its customers to remove hats, hoods and sunglasses when entering their banks, as a deterrent for would-be robbers. Officials with West Suburban Bank, based in Lombard, say this is just one action to deter robberies, in response to last year’s record-breaking 238 bank robberies in the metropolitan area.

Hat and sunglass control.

It's so brilliantly simple, it's elegant. Why hasn't anyone thought of this before?

UPDATE: FreedomSight is making a sign.

  1. Does that mean I'll be safer if I sell my guns and invest in more hats and sunglasses? Is there a way to get a permit to wear a hat to the bank, or does that take a special class and being fingerprinted?
