Many people are so desperate for things like a payday loan, they'll rob you for it. The amount of payday loan store robberies is going up, all across the nation. A payday loan store in Wichita, Kansas was recently robbed. Also, the two payday loan stick-ups in Spokane, Washington, were apparently not enough. A man, believed to be the same man from the previous incidents, stuck up one of the same stores he robbed earlier, and then attempted to rob another Check into Cash, but was thwarted by the locked doors. When he's caught, he'll really need a payday loan for a lawyer.
