Bank Robber Blames Foreclosure: "You took my house, now I'm going to take your money"

Is this what it is coming to? Boy, can I relate!! Not that I would even consider doing anything that drastic, but come April 8 I don't know what I will do if some kind of arrangement can't be made. Maybe I will lock myself in our home or maybe I will just sit and cry when they kick us out.

When I think about all of the work we put into our home in the last 15 years, and think of what has happened to us in the last four years, it makes me wonder. Can't the mortgage company work with me? And if not why not? I can't seem to get a straight answer from ANYBODY, even my Dem Congressman seems to be oblivious.

The feelengs keep coming back that I let my family down and I'm really sorry that I have probably become a pain in the ass to many, but I just don't know where to turn. I thank you for letting me get some of this off my chest.

Bank robber angry about foreclosure
http://www.dailyindia.com/show/218635.php/Bank-robber-angry-about-foreclosure

ATHENS, Ga., Feb. 22 (UPI) -- A gun-wielding man in a ski mask robbing a Georgia bank told a teller he wanted payback for losing his house to foreclosure.

The robbery occurred at a Regions Bank branch in Athens just before noon Thursday, the Athens Banner-Herald reported.

"You took my house, now I'm going to take your money," the robber told the teller as he pointed a gun at her, Police Capt. Clarence Holeman said.

Holeman said that the FBI, which is investigating the robbery, would probably check bank records. Bank officials said they could not remember anyone who had been especially upset about losing a house.

Witnesses said the man was middle-aged and 5 foot, 9 inches to 6 feet tall. He took off the mask after leaving the bank, revealing sandy blonde hair.

A man who had been sitting in his truck filling out a deposit slip followed him but lost him when he entered a driveway a few blocks away.
