Minor PL, but I used to work at a bank. We were told that if someone comes up and tells you to empty the drawer, you do it, no questions asked. It's not worth risking your life for the couple thousand bucks they keep on the floor at any given time.
The type of heist you're thinking of is a vault heist, which is virtually unheard of these days and would require, at the very least, an inside man. Standard bank robberies are insanely high risk, very low reward, and are reserved mostly for the mentally retarded.
Theoretically could someone come along, ask you to empty the drawer and then leave without taking anything and would that still be a crime or just a massive dick move ?
Like some joke out a batman parody where instead of the riddler you have the inconveniencer
That's such a bizarre edge case that I'm pretty sure they'd have to come up with a new law just to address it. If that were to happen we'd probably call the cops, tell them about it, then put the money back. From there it's up to a judge to decide if what they did was illegal. If they didn't use any threatening language at all, probably not.
