At first he pretended not to hear, but when she repeated, "Can I help you," he hesitated, then said, "Uh, Yes," and moved to the window. The bandit thrust the rumpled cloth bag and a note, scribbled by pencil in longhand, at her. It read, "Give me all your money over $5 bills. Don't say anything or I'll kill you." No weapon was seen by any of the witnesses to the robbery. When she had emptied her drawer of large bills, the robber said, "I know you've got more than that Hurry."
