Would it be reported if someone totally emptied their savings?
Would depend. Did they get a cashiers check payable to themselves? Nah, they're probably just taking their money to a new bank. Did they get cash? Did they seem like they were in some sort of duress? Then yeah.
What if it’s cash and they did not seem under duress?

This is why I want a RAV4 and to give up on cars.
Why not get a manuel mazduh 6 or mazda 3 with the sweet friendly discount from [user not found]. Roll with 16 inches and still have some decent driving experience. I may consider that at next port since im looking for a slight downgrade in car payments. Especially when I will move closer to dc by the time, and therefore drive less on weekends.
No MT next time. And I don’t want a car that will tempt me to have fun. I drive over the moon I want a comfy ride and ability to bomb over craters.

Over 10k and it’s mandated to report. Under 10k would be the teller’s discretion.

I’d go for a hybrid rav4 if i were you, wouldn’t be crap to drive, but not eager enough to make driving fun. I could see myself in a hybrid camry or rav4 too if my driving is only limited to point a to b.

Shipping stuff that requires a signature is such an exercise in full retardation.

Driver shows up to your home at 1:30 PM.
Nobody is home because no shit.
You get the sticky thing on your door saying they'll try again tomorrow at 1:30 PM when nobody is home.
3 strikes and it goes back to where you bought it from because sure why not.
Or you can conveniently opt to pick it up at a FedEx store. Which are not conveniently located.

Why even f'ing bother.

We'll see. Automatic and some sort of adventure type vehicle would be ideal.

Yea, it makes absolutely zero sense. When a signature is required, it usually results in serious :rolleyes: to me. Need to have it delivered to the distribution center or whatever and then find a few hours out of the day to go pick it up. :nope:

Like, just ship it to the damn store. I'll go grab it. Don't make me do the run around and don't waste your driver's time and gas. Nobody stays home during the day anymore except for retirees.

Around me, FedEx will only ship to certain locations, none of which are convenient to me. I have to drive 15 miles to the nearest distribution center, which is akin to walking onto the loading dock and finding my package. Hours are 8-5, it's nearly impossible. I've actually cancelled orders shipped via FedEx with signature required because it was so hard to get the package.

Even if I took a half day or something to sit at home, sometimes the FedEx truck comes at 8am, other times it's 8pm. There's zero logic in the route around me.

Occasionally there's a spot on the slip to sign and indicate to them to drop it at the porch on their next attempt.

I also suggest signing up for FedEx and UPS notifications - they'll send you an email when something ships to you that requires a signature so you can plan accordingly to either be home or reroute to a distribution center.

You can also have Fedex put a "signature release" on your address and they will leave anything that is signature required. However, they are then not responsible if someone steals your stuff.

I have a release on mine because too many sellers end up checking that box. The only thing I need to sign for anymore is booze.

Dude that invited himself camping with me is getting a new expensive dog.

He's naming it Toby. That's my name. He says his wife named it after some Christian singer. And a LOT of people have animals named Toby.

But still. It's weird.

Yeah.... that is odd.

Probably more odd than my odd name story:

My best friend married his wife and she had her cat forever from like Jr. High. The cat was like 16 years old and died. Within 2-3 years they had a daughter and named the girl the same as the cat... Chloe.

I always though that was weird because if I had a kid I wouldn't name it "Smokey", "Butch", "Shitface", "Little Bitch", "Dumbass", or any other name I've had for a cat or dog.

Oh, I need to look into this. We have a giant front porch that the FedEx guy can hide deliveries behind. He does frequently, which is why the signature requirement is all the more :rage:
