Robbing a bank

Brego888

Why does no one rob banks anymore?
Is it those pesky time locked security doors?

Fleawuss

They do. But it's an inside job.

I read somewhere that the average successful bank robbery nets around $10,000 in the US.

Hardly seems worth the risk.

Bastards have that many handling charges these days you'd be out money on robbing them.

There was a big bank job in London not too long ago. They drilled through a really thick wall and raided the safety deposit boxes. It was on a weekend so no one in the bank.

Electronic transfers are how its done now in the west for the most part.

Good old fashioned blags are rare now.

If they went up to the counter they'd probably get directed to the self service area in the corner.

Bank robbers never moved with the times, all to do with computers these days and they have no training in that.

If GTA V has thought me anything its that with a helicopter and a couple of juggernaut suits, I can rob any bank

Yep, or told there is no counter service on the day you choose to rob the place and advised to come back on 'Tuesday or Thursday between 10am and 12pm .....

Mind you, the local garda station closed down a year ago, and the next nearest one is nearly 10miles away so if you DID rob the bank, you'd be well gone by the time the Gardai got there.....









***ATTENTION CRIMINALS***:
Will tell you the location in return for a small share of the profits. PM me lol

As kids we always wondered why our banks and post office we never robbed. Post office and 2 banks were beside each other. Oneway traffic system so one badly parkedvan would stop traffic and give you a clean getaway. Everytime the Army/gardai escorted the Cash pick up they were actually showing how it could be done .

But surely the thrill of a good bank robbery would trump the drug dealing.

It's the banks that do the robbing these days.

RedemptionZ

Around the time of John Gilligan is where those high profile robberies stopped taking place in Ireland and the drug industry began to take over. Though interestingly as he grew up around a different breed of criminals he was traditionally more fond of robberies. But money talks and ultimately he began to see it was the way forward, in economic terms.

That recent uk heist of the safety deposit place was some bit of precise drilling

Can someone get a few pics on the www

I'm on a slow connection Iphone

The concrete wall was at least two meters thick

The buzz must have been amazing when they got in.
Imagine the adrenaline rush !

I'd imagine the adrenaline rush was the same as when they got arrested for it...
