I guarantee the average success rate of a person’s first bank robbery rubs up against 100% - it’s the unwillingness to stop while you’re ahead that gets people

I guarantee the average success rate of a person’s first bank robbery rubs up against 100% - it’s the unwillingness to stop while you’re ahead that gets people caught.
I’d guess my average teller drawer value was somewhere between 2-5k “unlocked” and maybe another 5k kept locked below my station. Not exactly “let’s leave the country and live like kings” money.
- webnrrd2k 6y agoFWIW, I knew a guy, briefly, who committed over 70 bank robberies. He was a next door neighbor of a friend of mine who lived in subsidized housing for the elderly. The robber had a strict schedule in and out in two, maybe three minutes once the robbery started. However, he got caught on the last one - because he stayed too long. As a side note, I met him as he was dying of cancer, and my friend would help take care of him. Id pitch in, but it was mostly my friend doing the day-to-day helping. Absolutely f*ing heartbreaking. There was no one else in his life - no friends, no family, nothing. He was bitter and alone. It was brutal watching him die over a few months.
