I can’t understand this either. I have a curiosity about heists too, but the max I’d do is watch an occasional movie or read an article. Ask for photos? What are they gonna do, frame and hang it at home?
Even worse is the public’s interest on serial killers, especially in the US. There are so many movies, books, shows on them!! Women write letters to these guys. It’s like these guys have celebrity status. This strikes me as weird.
