I always thought the bank pens were funny for that same reason. Isn't a pen being stolen the LEAST of your problems.
In my job right now I stop at about 20 bank branches a day, and the thing that I really find funny is that about 3 or 4 out of every 5 or those pens is missing. Just a chain is hanging there.
So not only did the plan not work, but it also left them needing to remove the stupid anchor and chain.
For crying out loud, just put some cheap pens out there and take your chances.
I should tell some bank that they can put our pens out there and if they get taken it's no problem!
