Case study:

"Had the teller or cashier pressed the alarm button, the vault would have automatically closed and the cops would have arrived in three minutes." The criminals' car would have been overtaken if the cops had arrived in three minutes.

The criminals' automobile, on the other hand, was not overtaken. As a result, the teller did not activate the alarm. [Let T="the teller pressed the panic button," C="the cashier pressed the panic button," V="the vault automatically locked," P="the cops came in three minutes," 0="the thieves' automobile was overtaken"]
