His Getaway Vehicles

Once he would run into the woods for shelter, he also supposedly had a bike waiting for him to make a quicker getaway. Some had even claimed that he would first ride a bike to a particular location, then change vehicles to a van, for less chances of getting caught. And he would go on to do this for over 30 years, planning each robbery precisely and down to each important detail.

Why He Was So Successful

It was said that his meticulousness was what made him so successful in his robbery career. He would take into consideration every condition before deciding which banks to rob. He usually targeted times nearer the winter months so that it would get dark earlier. He would even stash his collectibles in special hiding places that he could go back to so that if he were caught, he wouldn’t have any incriminating evidence on him. And of course, he would make sure to study the movements of the employees first so he would know how to make his best move.
