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 it is MORE risky to hand over a note or something written on the envelope for handwriting analysis or fingerprints. Although if you're getting the envelope back with the cash then I guess that works. Who the hell in that situation is going to remember or be able to ID you by voice from a few sentences?

I wouldn't wear a disguise... like an obvious one... but I think I would add some minor makeup style features. like movie makeup type things. Give myself a big mole on my cheek or lip or a noticeable scar somewhere. Then after i've left, I remove those identifying features.

the AMA i quoted was about a series of bank jobs done before smart phones, so there is that.

Why would anyone rob a bank? They don’t even have any bitcoin.

okay but that wouldn't change anything I said or added in my quote. I would still believe at any point in time that writing something on paper and handing it to a bank employee is more risky then telling them what to do in a calm voice. 

and I would still give my face some fake identifying features that I can remove after the job.

I'd get a mask like this. I'd have to get a plan on how I'd purchase the mask. (what monetary means, which mask, where would I get it).  Lots of places sell them or one like it.

I'd get the arm sleeves that go with it...so it makes your arm's look just as realistically old or wear a long sleeve shirt.

I wouldn't use cane.  Don't want to overdo it.

I'd make the clothes smell like cigar smoke.  Light 10 cigars and leave the clothes I was gonna wear in a garbage can with lid on with the cigars.

I'd use a note. Don't talk.

I'd use a motorcycle I used cash to buy the motorcycle in the same city I planned on robbing the bank.    When I bought the motorcycle, I'd wear the same mask.  Then when authorities asked the community for help, if the motorcycle seller spoke up, he'd say "yep...that's the guy I sold it it too" 

Burn the mask and clothes when done.  Throw ashes in running river.

I wouldn't. Robbing a bank is perhaps the dumbest crime possible. Extremely poor risk to reward ratio.

Underrated movie.
