That is pure fantasy. Stealing a tank is so conspicuous that no self respecting criminal would ever try it. It doesn't blend in and you'd never even get close

That is pure fantasy.
Stealing a tank is so conspicuous that no self respecting criminal would ever try it. It doesn't blend in and you'd never even get close to your target. It also doubles the number of crimes you need to pull off because first you need to steal the tank and the cops will be on your tail starting then vs starting when you commit the real crime you set out for.
Want to run over crowds? Rent a truck
Want to break buildings or infrastructure? Rent construction equipment.
- GekkePrutser 5y agoSome crazies have done similar things here. Crime in Western Europe is getting really extreme. In Holland it's now commonplace to steal money from ATMs by blowing up half the block (they call it a 'plofkraak'). https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=plofkraak&iax=images&ia=images https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=plofkraak&iax=images&ia=ima... In Amsterdam passengers of a tram had to drop to the floor because some assassins wanted to kill someone and took the whole area under machine gun fire, didn't care about collateral damage. In Belgium there was the "bende van Nijvel" that would rob supermarkets with machine guns and kill civilians on the motorways just to slow down pursuers. (This is a couple of decades ago though) I wouldn't be surprised if someone steals a tank just to gain access to a nearby bank by ramming the walls or something, and then of course use another vehicle for escaping.
