I wouldn't think that a bank would consider embezzlement to be of a lower 
priority than usual daily business.  From media reports, I would say that 
embezzlers go for high stakes, not petty theft. It is therefore, IMO, not at 
all unreasonable for a victim to assume "emergency." Otherwise, this practise 
would not succeed at all.
