You and your best friend realize that you are in need of money. So, the two of you decide that you will rob the First National Bank on Monday. You get a map of the bank, you borrow a car and your friend gets a gun. Then, you write a hold-up note on a piece of paper. Monday arrives, your friend parks outside the bank in the borrowed car waiting for you. You walk in with the note in your pocket and the gun concealed under your clothes. You approach the teller and she says, “May I help you?” Just then you say, “Oh, I forgot my account passbook.” You then walk out of the bank, get into the car and say, “Let’s get out of here!” A relative of yours calls the police and indicates that you and your friend just went to do the bank job. Later that day, the police pick both of you up for the attempted bank robbery
