[bars] Hold up at HRO parking lot

[Christopher Lennon]

There was an armed robbery at an ATM on South Broadway in Salem on the 23rd
of September.  Apparently the robber fled to the North shouting "I've got
enough for an FT-710!!!".

Okay just kidding about the second part.  But the ATM is all of 1.6 miles
from HRO, so on the game of telephone it could get confused.
