Legit - Rob a Bank - How would you do it?

[fandandy 3,311]

Place, time, year, getaway, accomplices.

How?

What is your foolproof plan?

I would rob one on your route to work, so you have somewhat of a alibi if your car was spotted driving by.

Anyone who calls this guy GF is a focking certifiable moron.

Robbing any bank is easy. They're trained to comply, hand over the money - avoid confrontation. 

The hard part is getting away undetected. So many get away with it the 1st time - it's when they get cocky and try and repeat do they get caught.

All you would have to do is pull out your diseased peepee and they would pay you what you ask to leave.

Yep and I would tell them I'm the FFT Bandit.

Most successful recently occurred in  England. Invade bank officials family  home at night & sending the bank manager into work the next day.

100 years ago or more I would likely rob banks for a living. 
50 years ago I would consider it for a big haul. 
Now there isn’t any chance you get away with it.

Small town, rural location. Pick a bank that is farthest away from the cop shops. look at train schedules to assist in thwarting cops responding. place a fake emergency call furthest away from bank. Put cash in backpack. Use an off-road motorbike as a getaway. put motorbike in normal looking van stashed at an off road location. Go home and crack a beer.

accomplices throw down road spikes on all roads leading anywhere close to the bank. cops cannot respond fast enough.   use motorcycle to navigate road spikes and go off road.

Problem with your plan is accomplices. Trust no one else!!!

well in 10 years, it might be easy to use drones or RC cars to drag or drop road spikes remotely by yourself.

[JustinCharge 2,397]

Instead of road spikes around the bank area, just carry lots of road spikes on the motorcycle and drop them if cops give chase.

ok.... but my plan is long gone before cops arrive. But some do-gooder might follow so yeah, could possibly do that

 

[JustinCharge 2,397]

Nope....That is a trail they could follow. 

doesnt matter because if they are behind you such that you need to drop the spikes, they already know you are there.

yeah, i reconsidered your idea. edited my original response. 

 

[supermike80 1,285]

I'd do it like this:

 

[JustinCharge 2,397]

I also might jury-rig some alleys such that a large heavy dumpster rolls into position blocking the path on my command.  Ride the motor cycle in if cops chase, roll the dumpster out behind me to get separation from police.

[JustinCharge 2,397]

I might have a "safe room" somewhere in a warehouse district.  A false wall that hides a place I can stay for days.  I might not ride the motorcycle anywhere close to it, but once I'm in one of the warehouse, plan a path to snake thru building after building until I reach it. 

[MLCKAA 395]

Shoot everyone in the bank within seconds.  Escape thru sewers.

[Mike Honcho 4,010]

I'd rob Carlton Banks and I'd do it by playing It's Not Unusual..then take his money while he was dancing!

[Mufaletta 33]

Simply buy the shareholders out of a mid sized, privately owned regional bank at 3x book value, using massive leverage from debt obtained from Softbank.   Then merge it into a SPAC, pull out huge management fees, raise more capital with a shelf offering, run a massive social media marketing campaign with buzzwords (The first digital blockchain enabled bank built for millennials!) and dump the over priced shares on public market bag holders.

When no one's looking, rip the pen off it's little beaded chain.  That thing is not as strong as you think.  

[Boots11234 107]

Wait for blizzard, Rob rural Indian casino. Lax security and mountains of cash. Use snowmobile to get away. Have van parked 20 miles away. Put sled in van and drive away. 

[Cdub100 3,366]

1. First start working at the bank

2. Go there every day and do the work

3. They deposit the money into my bank account. They won't even know they are being robbed

4. 30 years later I walk out the door like nothing ever happen

It's the perfect crime.

[BunnysBastatrds 1,911]

 It’s really easy. Never done it but can. Case it for weeks. Scope it. Learn the tellers and manager’s habits. Most people live and shop whithin a five mile radius. Know their cars and times they get to wok. Know where they live and where their children or grandkids go to schools. Pick a bank with many outlets going north south east and west. Best time is before closing when traffic is heavy. Have two cars and remove the license plates and put temporary tag on the back.  Make sure you leave no prints in or on either vehicle. Don’t use a gun. Look for suveliance cameras make sure you are in their blind spot. Call 911 five minutes prior from a pay phone and tell them you think an officer was hit by a truck on a street a mile away. When you demand the money, tell the bank teller that you know her name, where she lives, where her kid go to school, and their names. Then tell them if they put the explosion dye inside the bag, you’ll find them. 
 

Walk away act casually.

Funny I just started watching this movie for the first time yesterday, haven't finished it yet though.

 

[BunnysBastatrds 1,911]

 Forgot two things. Wear a long gray dress with flats, temporary tats on your arms and hand that can be removed when you dispose of them and a wig that is a complete opposite of your hair color. And wear casual clothes underneath the dress. And shave your toes and legs so you don’t leave dna. Burn cars and enjoy the booty. 

[phillybear 364]

I'd douse 700 land alligators/dogs with flammable materials, herd them into said establishment,  set them on fire, and amidst the chaos, walk out with a shiny, new 20 dollar bill.

And then celebrate killing 700 land alligators/dogs.

I would rob banks in California $949 at a time.  No harm no foul. Slow and steady wins the race.

There is one 25 minutes from me that fits that description and surprise it's never been robed. I often thought how easy that could be done.

[JustinCharge 2,397]

 

Basic Outline:

Stand in line like a regular customer

Wait for the next available teller -Hand them an envelope and tell them to give me their $50s and $100s (usually this was written on the envelope rather than me verbally saying it)

Turning around and walking out like a regular customer

No gun. No threats. No Hollywood drama. No mask. No disguise.

Nothing.

Just a regular customer. In and out in the same amount of time as if I was making a deposit.

I generally chose a time of day when I thought the cops were on shift change, which was usually around 3pm. Some cities actually publish that for whatever weird reason.

I usually went to Chili's or somewhere to eat and chill out.

cameras taking my photo? If all you have is a picture or video of someone, that's not really useful. As long as I didn't make it to the news, I was good to go. And nothing I did was newsworthy because nobody got hurt and I didn't make a scene.

No dye packs or anything like that.

Getaway was crucial. I only robbed banks that were in parking lots or something like that with other businesses around. I parked my truck out of view from the bank so nobody could see what I was getting into.

i feel like most of this plan was an episode of animal kingdom. aside from the small rural town part.

i think small rural town would likely not be worth it. If you're trying to rob one bank for a big, life changing score, you need a big bank in a location where they keep enough cash on hand and have a large vault of safe deposit boxes. 

[frank 2,144]

I would dress up like a clown. When I let the hostages go, I would change clothes and walk out with them.
