I received this a while back from a vendor. This was posted on the front door of a financial institution in Texas. Just thought I would pass it along.

Up until... maybe the '80s, some TX banker's association paid a bonus for bank robbers - 25K, dead or alive.  My hometown banker still has one of the posters framed in his office - said the program got canceled when two scum bags convinced a mentally deficient man to rob a bank, and then killed him when he came out.  Link to an old TX program which paid ONLY for dead robbers (http://www.texascooppower.com/texas-stories/history/the-dead-bank-robber-bounty)
