Houston or Mayberry?

This is a quote from an actual press release we received from the FBI:

"The attached bank surveillance photgraphs are for immediate release. This bank robbery happened earlier today! The photos are good and you can even make out the bandit's get-away bicycle."

Yes, the Special Agent actually referred to the robber as a bandit.
Yes, the robber actually left the bank on a get-away bicycle.

I love my job.

Do most FBI press releases include exclamation points?

I should have posted one of the pictures. You really can see the man getting away on a bicycle. And no, the FBI usually does not include exclamation points in their press releases. The whole thing was just priceless.
