I read an interesting article in the December issue of Stuff about the "Friday Night Bank Robber." He would rob banks in rural areas, on Fridays nights, ten minutes before they closed. Since the banks were less busy, there were less witnesses/would be heroes. Before he made his move, he would build small makeshift bunkers in the woods near the banks, where he could spy on the employees for two or three days and learn their schedule. After he learned the schedule and checked out the security, he'd make his move. After the robbery, he would run into the dark woods, where he'd jump on his dirtbike and ride to a get-away van.

He is one of the most successful bank robbers of all time; he robbed between 50 and 70 banks over a thirty year period, and got away with over two million dollars.

If anyone has read any good non-fiction books about bank robberies, please let me know. I have read other articles about bank robberies in the past, and I'm starting to develop an interest in the subject.

I'm done Christmas shopping, and I can't wait until Christmas and New Years Eve (and my days off.)
