Reply to comment by tastelessshark in Danish bank workers celebrate first full year without robberies by asteriskspace

There are reports that adjusting for inflation, bank robbers make less from each robbery.

In the 1960’s in the US the average bank robbery got close to $38k, in 2019 dollars. Today, most bank robberies net around $4-$5k in 2019 dollars- or about two/four paychecks for most middle class jobs.
