Two Men and a Motorcycle

In Jamaica, that is a danger signal....two men and a motorcycle.

Many murders and robberies are committed that way. That bank employee who was shot in the head as he sat in the back of a route taxi was killed in that manner.

This morning, heard about a lady who went to one bank, changed cheques for cash (a lot), drove to another bank, but didn't park in the parking lot, rather parked in the plaza next door. As she opened her door, pillion rider on a motorcycle showed her his 'piece' and told her to hand over the bag.

(Don't ask me why she didn't take more care).

Two Men and a Motorcycle featured in the shooting death of my sister's ex-husband as well.

So in Jamaica, when you see men on bikes, be careful.

Now it struck me that, unless one of the gunmen was in the first bank with the lady and saw her change this large sum of money, they had to get their information via cellphone. And could it have been from the teller?

"Yow, bredren. Mi just change plenty 'bills' fi one meek-looking lady. She inna one blue skirt suit".

I avoid cash transactions like the plague, and I also avoid Two Men and a Motorcycle.
