    [While not infosec related, its an important reminder that if it just 
    doesn't seem right to you in your gut, ask questions, ask for an ID, 
    the legitimate users might be a little inconvenienced, but its better

    Philadelphia Police are investigating the robbery of a Wal-Mart store 
    in Franklin Mills, where a man dressed as a armored car security guard 
    fooled employees and walked out with a big payoff. 
    
    According to Philadelphia Police Sgt. Roland Lee, it happened around 
    noon Sunday when a man, dressed as an armored car guard, entered the 
    store: 
    
    "He went to the Wal-Mart store, posed as the person, and he took over 
    a hundred thousand dollars in cash and checks in a deposit that was 
    supposed to be deposited to an armored car carrier." 
    
    Employees thought it was a regular pick-up until the real armored car 
    guard showed up about a half-hour later. 
    
    The suspect is described as a black man in his mid-20s, with a thin 
    build, a goatee, and dark braided hair.
