Maybe the Crooks Know Banks Have No Money Either?

According to the FBI’s recently released second quarter Bank Crime statistics, bank robbers are most likely to rob a bank between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. on Friday; more robbers stated their demands verbally than by passing a note, and only 4 percent of incidents involved violence. The FBI also noted that, despite the recession, there were fewer bank robberies than last year.

Loot was taken in 92 percent of the incidents, totaling more than $9.5 million.
Of the loot taken, 28 percent of it was recovered. More than $1.4 million was returned to the financial institutions.
The southern region of the U.S. had the most violations, with 445 reported incidents.

About angelgibson

I am a former big ad agency brand planner, running footloose and fancy-free through the streets of New York City. I read all those huge research reports that explain how and why consumers love or are indifferent to particular brands, the types of messaging that make them break out in night sweats, and the ONE thing you are not doing that your customers really wish you would. I read a lot of other stuff too. I write custom reports, design proprietary research, basically help my smart and fabulous clients become even more so.
