When Santa walked into First National Bank on December 23, 1927, it wasn't to make a deposit or apply for a loan. He was there to make a permanent withdrawal at gunpoint, along with his helper. What ensued was a massive manhunt for the bandits and a lot less holiday cheer in the town of Cisco, Texas.
