Bank 'Open All Hours'? - not if 5-year-old can help it!
An HSBC bank was discovered unlocked outside working hours yesterday by a five-year-old. Oliver Pettigrew wandered off while his parents were withdrawing money from the ATM outside the branch in Easingwold, North Yorkshire. He was able to gain access to the branch through the front door with no problem. Finding himself walking around in one of the largest banks in the world, Oliver hadn’t heard an alarm whatsoever. His father, Daniel Pettigrew, immediately contacted the police, once he realized what his son had found. Oliver has been greeted and thanked by police, and HSBC rewarded him with his own bank account credited with £10.
An HSBC spokeswoman says "there was a malfunction in the door catch, and that once opened, should have alerted the police." The branch was supposed to be closed for the weekend, but despite this fact, wasn’t aware that it hadn’t been shut properly. Daniel said "If it wasn’t for Oliver, that door could have been left open until Monday." HSBC apologizes for this fault and hopes to do something about it.
I chose to focus on a simple story rather than a complicated story with alot of opinions.
