fatdan:No "felony" crime is committed
An attempt to commit a crime is conduct intended to lead to the commission of the crime. It is more than mere preparation, but it falls short of actual commission of the intended offense.
This is a prosecutable offense...
"Intent" however, is not...
Then, there is conspiracy, if two or more people are involved. It is a felony, as well.
The bank followed the simplest protocol in today's service market. If you're a regular depositor, and know some of the personnel, you stand a better chance of the banking industry taking a more personal role in your accounts.
If anything outside of my regular transactions are presented, my bank calls me directly.
I can't remember the last time I was called, thankfully.
This is one area of life I need not worry about. Pays to know, and treat your banking personnel well...
Just noticing the finger nail polish, and commenting on it, will make a woman's day, and you, something to remember. The male ones, like a decent joke once in a while...
They're people in a repetitive job. Everyone smiles when you deliver a compliment towards something, someone has taken time to enhance, for their own benefit. Others noticing these incidences are not so easily forgotten.
It's also free. The disconnect of humanity is a sad state of affairs, globally.
Make a difference every day. A smile will get you one in return, post haste...
First line of defense to keeping what's yours, yours......
