CHICAGO - That was easy.

A bank robber behind the wheel of his car on Tuesday sent a
note through a vacuum tube to the teller at the drive-through
window at a branch of Chicago's LaSalle Bank and the teller
obliged, returning an undisclosed amount of cash, police said.

The exchange was completed through the bank's pneumatic
tube communications system, in which canisters are passed back
and forth between motorist and teller.

The FBI said it was investigating the drive-through theft.
