MADISON, Wis. -- With a highly anticipated movie about bank robberies opening in theaters, Wisconsin bankers are seizing the moment to educate customers.

While much of Wisconsin has been waiting for the premiere of "Public Enemies," bankers aren't so excited. The movie will make big bucks showing off bank robbing skills, so the state's banks and law enforcement are trying to make it easier to pick out thieves.

John Dillinger was one of the most notorious bank robbers in history, and he didn't even bother with a disguise. But that's not how most robbers operate today.

"The most common type of bank robbery is a note job where somebody comes in and passes a note to the teller demanding money. That type of robber wants to get in, get out and not be noticed," said Jason Busch, with the Wisconsin Bankers Association. "Those are the types of robbers you often see using disguises, having a hat on, dark sunglasses, a hood, a fake beard, something like that."

State bankers are using the "Public Enemies" spotlight on bank robberies to remind customers not to wear hats, hoods, sunglasses or display weapons in banks.

"We've seen an uptick in Wisconsin, in Milwaukee in particular, in bank robberies within the last year or two," said Busch. "This is kind of a proactive campaign but something that's not too in your face if you're a customer, as well to just provide a little more safety and security for customers and bank employees."

But one man in La Crosse said the stereotype burned him. He was detained by police this week after withdrawing rent money while wearing a hooded sweatshirt, and someone in the bank drive-through reported a robbery.

"I was just getting money from a bank, and I said a few minutes later (to the officer), 'Call my bank.' And they said, 'We don't need to do that now,'" said Eric Harding, of La Crosse. "I said, 'Here's my bank receipt.' They said, 'We're not worried about that. Get in the car.'"

Harding wasn't charged with any crimes related to a robbery, but police said he was given a ticket for disorderly conduct after he confronted officers.

While Harding didn't rob a bank, even the FBI is saying the campaign will be helpful. Banks will be able to choose how they enforce the campaign, and the Bankers Association emphasizes that while those who don't comply when asked to remove items will still be served, they'll likely be watched more closely.
