Not worth the effort

According to an article published a couple of months ago by some British statisticians, the average bank robber in the U.S. gets away with approximately 4,000 dollars.  So to make even a vaguely reasonable living, a hood would have to plan and execute (and avoid subsequent capture) 9 or 10 heists a year.  Doesn't really seem worth it.  Now, according to the same study, an equivalent British bank robber will do a bit better-- an average of nearly 20 grand.  Still, that's a couple of jobs a year for the rest of your life, and bank robbery usually doesn't come with dental.

You might get a company car, though, if you consider the getaway vehicle you carjacked.
