Eventually, we'll need to see a serial killer break down horror movies someday
-
this dude really was like "I was tired of not getting caught so I turned myself in"
-
"I'm Cain Vincent Dyer" alright, cool "I commited over 100 bank robberies, in a period of almost two years" SPITS OUT TEA hold up, WHAT?

It's great seeing a professional tell how it's really done. I dated a girl who's ex tried robbing a bank. I knew people that knew him and they told me the same story later on so I knew she wasn't lying. The man was high on heroin, went in with a note and handed it to them, the guy was so high he nodded off standing there so the woman had time to call the cops. She came back and said "Excuse me sir!" and he came to, she handed him the money and the second he walked out he got jumped on by the whole robbery squad. Like how do you nod off mid bank robbery that's something straight out of a comedy movie. I died laughing when she told me the story but I mean it's kind of sad what drugs do to people. He didn't get a whole lot of time for it cause he used a note and they clearly knew he had a bad drug problem with how everything happened. Still one of my favorite failed crime stories I've ever heard.

"I've robbed over 200 banks" I didn't even think it was possible to rob one nowadays.

He's so personable. Imagine telling the police how you got robbed by a really nice guy.

Best robbery I ever heard of was perpetrated by a guy I went to high school with. He went to the customer service counter of a Meijer, handed them a note simply saying "this is a robbery, I have a gun, give me all the money." Kept his hands in his pockets the whole time until the money was handed to him and he walked out unchallenged. To his car. With his license plates. His identity was confirmed by witnesses and every security camera because he wore no mask. He didn't actually have a gun. Just a wicked drug addiction and a total inability to think things all the way through. He was arrested before an hour had passed and the trial was most likely very short.

I love that we have past criminals that are willing to give us insight to their world. Such amazing stories.
-
This guy robbed me about about a decade back. Really great guy.
-
Over 100 successful heists in 2 years, and he only handed himself in cos he was bored of the FBI not catching him?! Where is THIS guy's film?! 🤣

“I’ve waited for pregnant women and the elderly” “I don’t like using fear, I’m kinda against that” PROFESSIONALS HAVE STANDARDS

I really respect this man a lot. I think he did this rating not because he was proud to be a robber but rather used this platform to advice people not to take that path. Its not easy to tell the world a past life you weren't proud of
-
Love this I honestly was not expecting to find an accuracy video for this Any little things like this are great for learning as well as story writing Would totally call this guy to consult if writing or making a story

Dude didn’t even get caught, he turned himself in. The ultimate legend

In the movie HEAT the alarm system and security cameras where turned off 30 minutes prior to them entering. The team switched a hardware component they accessed through a parking garage the night before in order to achieve this. The scene where the "alarms" where going off in the police HQ was actually just the phones ringing, the detectives all left in a rush because ( this was not shown in this breakdown ) one of them was just handed a piece of paper with a tip from a CI about the time and location of the robbery.

In Heat, the masks were so the customers wouldn’t see them. The cameras and alarms were turned off before they went in. The cops didn’t get an alarm it was tip
