I worked at a bank branch for 7 years. They always catch the guy. Not sometimes. Always. Mostly because we didn't carry much cash in the first place and a bank robber never robs 1 bank and calls it quits. It's simply not sustainable in the long run.

Should try securities exchange fraud instead /s

Or go into a multinational child sex ring. You might become president.

Counterpoint: when my wife's ex-husband was deep in the throes of heroin addiction, he managed to rob the same bank twice and get away with it both times.

You might be right that he'd be caught eventually, but he OD'd before he could try a third time.

I had been robbed a few times. The last time I got robbed, I said "See you next time!"

Unfortunately for that person, it was the last time.
