Would-be robber is too patient

A man handed a bank employee in the Manassas area a note asking for money and then sat down, apparently to wait for it, police said. Meanwhile, the employee called police, who arrived in time to make an arrest.

In a bank in Alexandria the next day, a woman also passed a note asking for money. But the teller walked away and the woman, seemingly less patient, fled and apparently is at large.
