Bullet Resistant Courage

Brian Patrick Marlin, charged with attemped robbery.

“PUT THE MONEY IN THE BAG!” is what the thief abruptly told the bank teller through the bullet resistant barrier separating him and her. The teller (while behind the bullet resistant enclosure) noticed that the crook had no weapon on him at all, making the decision to tell the crook that ““We don’t do that here” and turn him away a lot easier on her and her co-workers.

The man, Brian Patrick Marlin, left the bank in anger with no money and no chance of being a free man after this stunt. The police found him later that day just a couple blocks away from the attempted heist, he was charged with attempted bank robbery.

Clerk Outwits Robber with Bullet Resistant Barrier

A little smarts and a bullet-proof barrier prevented a robbery at a Mobile Gas Station in Tamba Bay, Florida. After one robber unsuccessfully attempted to open the cash register of the convenience store, a second robber brought the clerk at gunpoint from the cooler to open it for them.

“Ahmad told the robbers they had to step away so he could close the door to the enclosure around the register or the drawer would not open. When they stepped outside, he shut the door and locked it, putting himself behind the bullet-proof glass, police said.”

Bullet-Resistant Glass Window Finds New Use

A former bank branch location turned car wash might be hard to recognize if it weren’t for a few trace reminders, like the “product storeroom and its massive foot-thick steel door. Or maybe the former bank’s
bullet-proof glass window, now converted into a coffee table.” As the financial industry continues to struggle, many banks have closed branches providing prime locations for other companies who can see their potential.
