William Gillen, twenty-six, entered a bank in Glasgow,
Scotland, with a note that read " GET THE MONEY OVER
RIGHT NOW, I HAVE A GUN." But on his way to the teller
a bank official told him to wait his turn in line. Gillen
did, and when he finally reached the window and handed over
the note, the teller pushed the alarm button.

Gillen fled but was picked up later by police and placed
in a lineup, where the bank official failed to pick him out.
He was however charged with attempted robbery, after he called
out from the lineup, " Hey, don't you recognize me?"
