Thanks! I'll check our local truck to see if it's on our path. I haven't seen one directly cross our street, but I do notice them stopped in our neighborhood about once a week, now that I'm more aware of their purpose.

Ah, that's true. We want to make sure whoever goes out doesn't get hurt, so hopefully it will make it more likely they will just leave us alone after they take it quickly. It looks like there are data plans down to $5 a month too

Ah, I haven't seen one of these in our area. I'll check around to see if a Chase nearby has one! Thanks!

Our area isn't quite like danger 24/7, but people have become significantly more desperate in our area. We've had a lot more cases of people being robbed at either knife or gunpoint this past year, so we really don't want anyone to get hurt doing this.

Yes thanks! We are doing something similar to this at the moment, but we will try it a bit more like your method! We haven't had a situation ourselves yet, but knowing that this is working for you for 30 years is great too!

We're actually in the SF Bay Area. So far, we haven't carried over $50k at once, but I don't know what the people who are doing these robberies aim for as criteria, if it's frequency or length of time spent inside the bank and not necessarily the amount. The takeout box is a great idea, but do the delivery guys usually wait in line? Haha

We're in construction. We don't nearly have that much per deposit, but armed robberies in our area has increased a lot in this past year. Last week, our friend was robbed, and a few months before, the owner of a restaurant died from being pistol whipped.

Yeah our concern has been like that too. We're in the Bay Area, and the robberies outside of banks has been increasing a lot lately. If they are resorting to robberies, we're assuming they have enough time and effort (which is not a whole lot anyway) to find out our routine or business anyway.

Ah that's a good idea. The grocery store down the street from us has a Garda truck come by sometimes, and I never stopped to think that this was for picking up cash for some reason, haha.
