In People v. Bonner (2000) 80 Cal.App.4th 759, the defendant was convicted of attempted robbery of the manager of a hotel and his assistant. The manager and assistant routinely took a large deposit of hotel receipts to the bank on Monday at the beginning of each month, using an elevator to get to the manager's car in the hotel garage. The defendant, a former hotel employee, went to a laundry room on the garage level on the first Monday of the month, wearing a mask and carrying a pistol. However, he was discovered by other employees and fled from the scene before coming into contact with the intended victims. The court held the evidence was sufficient to support the convictions: "It was appellant's clear intention to rob the manager and assistant manager. He made detailed preparations for the crime, went armed to the scene, placed a mask over his face, waited in hiding moments before his victim's approach, and gave up the enterprise only when discovered by other hotel employees. The evidence was sufficient to convict appellant of attempted robbery. " ( People v. Bonner, supra, 80 Cal.App.4th at p. 764, fn. 3.)
