Seriously? Who in their right mind robs a Post Office.
The guy that gets away?
Well, wherever there’s money there are robbers……
How much cash could there realistically ever be at the Benson Post Office?
Less than there was before.
But seriously folks…got a tip, call it in.
The Feds will be all over this one.
Does the urban legend of “stamps as legal tender” still exist?
I’m curious as to why rob a post office and steal no packages…

Stealing stack of packages/gifts/cash-laden cards waiting to be mailed out two weeks prior to Christmas = supervillain.
Stealing the accumulated contents of local post office cash registers (loose change, rubberbands, Werther’s Originals candies) = simpleton.
THIS is the Dagger I miss! Happy Holidays!
Surefire way to tell you’ve committed an all-time stupid crime?
Dell shows up to weigh in.
Somewhere, at an undisclosed location, RichieC watches…and waits.
They have to have enough on hand to cash postal money orders presented to them.
