"There was no weapon produced or implied, no injuries were reported and only one customer was inside the branch."

Was there a crime commited?
If I walk into a bank and simply say "give me all your money"  have I commited a crime?
If the tellers comply?   (could they be  complicit in the "crime")?
Does wearing a mask make it a crime?
How about a hoodie?

I seem to remember a law passed about wearing a mask in a bank being illegal. It would seem to create a presumption of robbery with or without a weapon. I think being menacing in behavior might be enough for the average person. If not, the lawyers are sure to be available for him if caught.

If taking something that doesn't belong to you is still stealing then yes it's a crime.  The money doesn't belong to the teller, it actually doesn't technically belong to the bank, it belongs to the depositors.  So, anyone that takes money from the bank (ie the teller being in on it) without an authorized transaction would be stealing.

Yes, it is illegal to take something that is not yours.

About a week ago my bank somehow made a clerical error depositing $57 billion dollars into my bank account. I opted not to keep the funds, because they were not mine (and I doubt my bank has that much  )

Gaspar. I see that was done on a Sunday. I'm sure by Monday morning it would have been corrected. But what a dream huh?

The difference between stealing and robbery... is what he seemed to be getting at.

Are you sure that since the house voted to increase the debit ceiling that is not your intended customary tax refund advanced for 2013.

Clever Mr. Shadow. I'll take mine in coin thank you very much.

If you kept the funds you'd just have to pay back all the money when the mistake was found out. Errors are normally found out during an audit.

I looked for the "Oh C'mon" video clip for Jim Belushi on "Man with One Red Shoe".  I was unsuccessful.

Yes... when "does asking for money" ->  "begging for money" -> "demanding money" become a robbery?
Does "assault" come into play?

Non-violently I say to
     a) my friend:  "give me $!00"
     b) a bank teller:  "give me $!00"   (is this a crime along the lines of "Fire!" in a theater ?)
