Follow the money
11:48 a.m. — 1400 Block of West Granada Boulevard. Civil Complaint. The victim said he pulled into the bank drive-through closest to the building and placed a $100 bill in the drawer along with his driver’s license. The bank teller placed a deposit slip in the drawer and sent it back out to the victim. The victim then completed the deposit slip and sent it back to the teller.
The teller then asked the victim for the $100. The victim said he placed it in the drawer and never touched it again. The teller said she never took the money out. The teller suggested that the wind blew the money out of the drawer, because it was pretty windy.
The victim backed up his car and checked the area but did not find the $100 bill. The teller looked inside near the drawer to make sure it didn’t come out inside the bank. The bank manager went outside and assisted in the search for the money.
A police officer went with the victim to the drive-through lane. The victim dropped a dollar bill to see which way the wind blew it. The dollar bill fell to the ground, and even with the substantial wind, did not move.
There were no cameras that record what the tellers do, and there were no cameras on the drive-through lane.
The bank manager said the till will be audited at the end of the day, and he will call the victim.
