Are bank robberies profitable at all? My research indicates that the average heist only nets about $7k-$25k, but that seems ridiculously low. Is this bullhonkey? If so, what other forms of robbery are more profitable?

>but that seems ridiculously low
That's because banks don't keep that much money.

>If so, what other forms of robbery are more profitable?
None. Don't do it.

You'll go to prison for a long time, the reward is not worth the risk.

what are you too much of pussy to go to prison? prison is just a nartual part of life brother

If you have no useful input don't reply please

Don't rob the bank. Rob the cash delivery trucks.

Banks don't carry cash. The delivery truck does for obvious reasons.

Unless you're going to break into the safe deposit box area of a bank

How is telling you that it's low because banks don't keep that much money for this very reason and that robbery isn't a good idea not useful input?

Sure bro, go commit some armed robberies. You'll probably make like $100k before you go to prison for 5-10 years

As a calculation you have to factor in:

The risk of getting caught
The risk of prison time
Lost earnings due to prison time

If you don't consider the risks, you'll make stupid decisions. If you are going to do a robbery at least do your fucking homework.

>Unless you're going to break into the safe deposit box area of a bank
That's more along the lines of what I'm thinking, not just yelling at the tellers to gibsme their drawer cash
Quiet please

Enjoy prison, faggot.

Well the average heist has to take into account random coons, desperate junkies, and other assorted idiots. I would imagine a well-thought out and well-organized one, if successful, could do a lot better than that

Knew an old lady who got away with robbing a bank in her younger years (when robbing banks was easier)

She came back to the same bank again in a 2nd robbery attempt, got caught, spent time in jail, now lives in a rat-infested duplex .

Criminals have psychological issues that go beyond logic in the first place

tl;dr

Don't be dumb OP find another way to make money

be better off doing a jewellery store

You're probably right but then I'd have to fence off the jewels. I'm not a very social person, and I'm sure the pawn shops would catch on

>Don't rob the bank. Rob the cash delivery trucks.

Meanwhile when OP attempts it.

In my country it's pretty common to rob atm's, I don't think this trend has spread to a lot of other countries yet.

They steal a car, ride to an atm, fill it with gas, use a remote detonator to ignite the gas, pick up the cash, and leave.

Most of the time they get 20 - 100 k €, the pros have like a 90% succes rate, the amatuers 50%.

Personally I also think bank robberies are stupid, if you want to rob something just rob jewelry store, or pharmacy. Also make sure ypu have the connections to sell and have patience.

Not to mention it's almost impossible to get away with and you'll end up in prison for like 20 years.

>stealing money
>not just creating your own monetary system
plebs

If you ever watched The Town, you'll see that planning a heist involves great coordination of resources. Intelligence has to be gathered, bribes have to be paid, every single contingency must be planned for, fake badges and uniforms must be acquired, teams must be on standby and working in support of the ground element. Any worthwhile payoff is going to require a considerable investment.

If you're planning something solo or in a pair, hit heavily cash businesses across several states.
Convenience stores.
Restaurants.
Retail stores.
Liquor stores.
Cigarette distributors.
Privately owned automated teller machines (ATM).
Vending machine operators.
Parking garages.
Remember that the guy at the counter probably has a gun and you pop that fuck in the face if he reaches for anything except the sky. Anyone wants to be hero, you kill them too. To prove you're serious, take a kid hostage if one is available.
Don't do it though, user. It's not worth the risk or the effort.

“What is the robbing of a bank compared to the founding of a bank?”

― Bertolt Brecht

In UK it was popular for like 2 years, my town literaly had 3 ATM's blown out in a month. But they have measures to counter it now, detection and prevention, soon most ATM's should have it in place.

I remember reading somewhere that bank robberies are less profitable than they used to be at least in part because inflation means the value of the cash you can physically carry out of a bank is much less than it used to be but I dont know how true that is

if cash delivery trucks dont have at least 2 armed guards youre living in a cuck state

Bank robberies are pointless because they don't carry a lot of cash. Truck robberies are impossible because they have a guy in the back to shoot. The only people who get away with it rob other criminals. Those guys who rob criminals get shot

You're going to get caught regardless of what you do. You're an idiot.

You know what you need to do

>I'm not a very social person

You mean you're a fucking neet who would never be able to rob someone? Go roleplay on /r9k/ kid.

>Shoot people
>Take children hostage
>All to make a pitiful income before you get caught and raped in jail by Tyrone for 15 years

Brilliant. It's a fucking film dude

fucking LOL'd hard at this post right here!

Like if you're enough of a cunt to rob people.
Do home invasions you fucking idiot.

As far as I can determine there are two successful strategies.

1. Get in, get the 10k or so in the registers, get out within two minutes before police response. Do this repeatedly every few months while working a normal job, volunteering in the community etc. Eventually launder your pile of cash years later, perhaps writing it off as gambling income after you have ceased all criminal activity.

2. Go big. Empty out the vaults. There is no way that the police won't respond in a timely fashion, so you're going to need hostages and a getaway plan.

Neither of those is up my alley.

A few years ago at Logan airport, a guy walked in wearing a uniform, said he worked for the contractor that ran the ATMs in the airport. Said that one of the ATMs in terminal B was acting up, not getting a signal, giving out the wrong amount of funds. State police walked him to the ATM, he disconnected it, put it on a dolley, and got escorted out to an "unmarked van". He was never seen again, and he obviously wasn't from the ATM contractors.

rob a crack dealer, they aren't as well-defended and they won't call the cops

Only if you're black
