Bank robberies in the United States have plunged to historic lows, yet the patterns of when and where they occur still reveal surprisingly suboptimal choices by perpetrators. Drawing on the latest FBI Bank Crime Statistics and regional breakdowns, this episode revisits classic insights about morning versus afternoon yields alongside current numbers showing a sharp national decline concentrated in certain areas. Listen for a clear-eyed look at risk, reward, human habits, and how the crime itself has changed.
