What is it with robbing banks?

[GAMEC0CK2002]

Seems like every time I turn on the local news, a bank has been robbed. What's the deal? Has it gotten easier or crooks are just getting braver?

Banks have a lot of money. Thieves want lots of money.

Desperate people to go with more news coverage.

It's always been relatively easy if you plan properly. I think they say something like 60% or more of all bank robbers don't get caught after their first robbery. It's the ones that get greedy and do it 10-20 times that get caught. The more often you do it, the higher the chances are that you'll either make a mistake, run into an uncooperative teller or just get flat out unlucky.

One and done = you'll get away with it more often than not.

Serial offender = you're pretty much screwed.

Or so I've heard...

It's not a secret that banks don't arm themselves and they don't let employees attempt to stop robberies. Policies dictate that employees simply follow the demands to preserve safety.

All of the banks around work are protected by the glass and a police officer on duty lol.

Back home its not like that at all, but bank robberies never really happen.

You instantly become a full on BroKing if you rob a bank, which makes slamming dimes pieces incredibly easy.

Money plus bishes.

Everyone managed to rob the bank in GTA IV and figured if they survived that hell, a real bank robbery is a cakewalk.
