that's all the details... no time of day that this happened? No details if anyone was hurt? No other details on suspect... like was he white or african american or what... that really helps!!!

An unarmed man robbed the Chase bank? Seriously? So you just walk in, walk up to a teller and say give me all your money and they give it to you? Does that work at the drive-up window also? It would make the getaway so much faster.

How much did they get? I would imagine that all banks would have panic buttons. And to think that the p.d. is just down the street. Comforting people?!?!??

Probably just a Chase customer that wants some of his stolen money back.

Did the money contain a dye pack, or was the offender the tellers brother in law or something like that?

The tellers are instructed weapon or not hand over whats in their draw and get the person out of the building quickly as possible.
In the banking business they call it minimal loss of calaterial. We call not getting anyone killed trying to be a hero.......
