This is a metaphor, a Christian allegory. The fact that I have to explain to you that Jesus is the Warthog, and the Banana is drepanocytosis is just embarrassing for you.

like, where is the disconnect that he couldn't figure out the cops would be able to trace the drat scooter right back to him? aren't kids supposed to be tech savvy?

Kid had the right idea using a scooter. He could navigate the sidewalks and narrow alleys that the cops couldn’t follow.

They’d have to stop the squad car, pound their fist on the steering wheel and watch him shrink off into the distance.

I'd more say he's playing the odds of a fatty fat cop cause I feel it's a 50/50 chance.

Sounds like a job for rent-a-cops on Segways

Dude, ix-nay on the oice-vay.
I wish he had been on one of the Segway tours that go down sixth a couple of times a week. Pretty sure those are way slower and noisier than the electric scooters.

Edit: the story in the OP also sounds like a Pontiac Bandit episode of Brooklyn 99. Except the Bandit wouldnt have left anything traceable behind. Just a skooter chase.

that's likely why he was able to pull it off, the teller assumed he had a gun. I don't think he actually did

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
I can't help but remember the last major movie spacey was in before the other shoe dropped had him talking about the balls of a literal child named baby.

Or you can just be ignorant and not think that far ahead. Just like having his real account info tied to his rent-a-scooter. He's not taking in the information and making a risky calculation against the odds. He's an idiot sticking a fork in an electrical outlet.

Tellers are trained to hand over the money whether they think the threat is credible or not. It's about minimizing human casualty. Give the robber what he wants, and 9 times out of 10 they'll catch him later.
