Excitement at the book table

Yesterday Oli and I went to put our book table up at its regular spot. The area is usually busy since it's right next to the local supermarket. But today, there was more activity than usual.
It seems there had been an attempted robbery on an armored truck just a few minutes before we arrived. Police were still pulling up and taping the area off as we set up our table.
We never did find out if the robbers were caught, but it didn't look like they got very far in their getaway car. It was abandoned about 30 yards down the road, boxed in by a workman's truck.
