 What would have likely happened if the bank robbers' car tires had not melted?
There was Mrs. Dolly Daniels, withdrawing money from her savings account again. The three bank robbers looked like triplets. She fell unconscious to the floor, and all three of them ran out of the bank to the car out front, in which sat a very nervous-looking fourth man, gunning the engine.
