Robbery: Who, What, WHEN, Where, Why

One of you did a bang-up job on your story. Nice lede, good nut graf, good story flow.

One problem, though: nowhere in the story did you way WHEN anything happened. No dates, no times.

You could have an otherwise-great story, but if it entirely misses a key element -- like any of the five W's -- then it's not a great story, or even a good one.

Others had a day, but not time. Still others had a time, but no day.

Don't overlook the obvious, folks!
