    Serving us by taking our money and making profit from it. Or the bank going bust in an economic collapse and losing it.

    And ye right. At my branch there is usually one person between five tills. And a huge line, and none of the other staff bother to open another, they sit doing naff all.

    In a round about way we all do.

    Not only are a large chunk of the police spending time on this, which means that other crimes are not being solved.

    Insurance payments for cash handling will go up and banks will pass the cost onto us.

    And because insurance companies make less profit they will perform worse on the stock market and our pensions will decrease.

    But perhaps thats looking for negatives.

    I doubt some of those are givens, but others may be true. I suppose you'd have to analyse the knock-on effects in the future to properly determine the overall hurt/gain ratio.

    Of course, there are some possible gains as well as the money stolen.

    - More investment in security
    - More staff employed
    - Better policing methods learnt
