Police in three Ohio cities are investigating the theft of three large
storage bins from bank branches earlier this month. The storage bins were
used to store paper waiting to be shredded. The most puzzling part of the
theft is how the thief was able to remove the bins, which were reported to
weigh more than 500 pounds each.

[..]

One of the three bins contained personal documents of bank customers, says
FirstMerit spokesman Rob Townsend. He was uncertain which bin contained the
customer documents.

[..]

The locked bins were stored outside of each branch.
