Coud you pull off a bank heist?

I would bet that most of us think we are smart enough to do it.
What say the OT?

In New Orleans, with a 20 minute response time? Yes.

You have a lot more than that to consider. You would be on camera, not only during the heist, but by any camera that catches you driving in and away.
You have to take precautions to leave the least amount of evidence behind.
A disguise of some sort.

Yes - although it is not as easy as one might think. Nor as profitable - banks have gotten smart at keeping the right amount of money at the branch at one time. That, plus the growth of electronic transactions means that risk does not pay as well as it once did, as a ROI.
But, most folks with military experience have the skills required to work a bank crew (which is kind of a major league of robbery).

I think I could have a decent chance if I planned for a year.
But who the frick has time for that?

Anyone could if they got serious and organised.
Let's say your children and SO develop an extremely rare illness for whatever reason..and they will 100% die within 2 weeks. There is a cure, but just enough for a few people has been made. Your people don't have the time. It is in a bank vault, but being stored there just on the off chance Bobby Jindal and his family get sick.

Not sure. But one day I plan on knocking off the South of the Border restaurant between Woodville and St. Francisville. Been planning it for years. A few factors make it the perfect heist. 1) Blue haireds. It's ran by old fossil arse blue haireds. No doubt I could overpower them even if they all banded together and descended upon me at once. 2) Video poker. While the restaurant itself is probably broke as shite and living off its bygone days of yesteryear, they do have video poker in there. That requires a certain level of cash to be on hand. I'm thinking I could make off with upwards to a grand off the place. 3) Location. It's a heavily forested and hilly area located on a state line with 2 conflicting state law enforcement agency. Landmass cops- "uh, not sure if the perp is even in our state, lets gets some doughnuts and call the coonasses, it's their store". LA cops- "Roger that dispatch, we're currently conducting a month long sweep of seat belt violators, will notify Landmass". Me- on a beach in Barbados living the life of Andy Dufresne.

Well now when this happens we'll all know the culprit!
And I could easily make a couple grand off of food trucks in Nashville. They all park together and there are tons of cash transactions and their back doors are usually open for ventilation. Get a team, one in each truck with a mask and gun, and plan a getaway.

Pull off one.. I Believe I could
Posted on 8/27/15 at 8:38 am to BayouBlitz
I know a place where it would work, no doubt.
Not sure of the amount you would get, but it would give you 2 banks and no cops for 10 minutes easily.

There are better choices for straight cash. Bank = fed case.

I believe it to be possible. I also think I would eventually get caught and the amount of money that is typically available wouldn't be worth it.

Yes. With my wife working at one for a few years....I think she could give me ideas. But,they do have crazy amounts of security just to get into the vault

We never hit the vault, Utah.

Large scale smash and grab during an LSU football home game.
Of course if I were actually trying to, the cost to execute the heist would be greater than the take. At least for a bank around here.
The 'Superman 3' & 'Office Space' way is probably the best way to rob a bank nowadays. Steal a little bit from everyone through hacking. Tech is changing so fast, someone could pull this on small and mid-size banks.

There was an AMA on reddit a while back with a retired bank robber. Interesting read if you have the time.
