      And it's one of the first things I have to take issue with. Uncle Larry has obviously never had "f*** you money". At some point, you can have so much money that it ceases to have value. It's like water, or carpet... it's just one more thing you have, use, and never think about. Crown was robbing the place because he wanted a challenge. (watch the whole movie. there's a lot going on.)

As he said, doing crime is dangerous, most of the time you end up in jail, so he never comprehend why people risk their lives for fun. Which is totally reasonable.

      Yeah real fun until his world crashes in on you and either someone he robbed or owes money to comes to your family with a vengeance. Or the feds catch on and suck you into it, staking out your place, interrogating you and making you feel like you’re guilty of something just because your family member is who they are, then they try to use you against them and that’s a whole other kind of guilt. Not to mention the embarrassment when it goes around town your family has a criminal in it. Everyone starts looking at you differently. Friends, gf, neighbors, people you see on a daily basis.
      Had an uncle like that. He was really cool and trust me was the favorite uncle, until he wasn’t. Then it was just a nightmare for us, even long after he went to jail.

      Theft is the removal of property without the owner's permission with the intention if keeping/selling it, but it's theft because there is no use of force and/or intimidation on the victim directly. Robbery is the act of using force and/or intimidation directly on the victim to take that person's property. No force or intimidation means not a robbery.

    The thing about robberies too, is that you don't wanna get involved with anyone who's the "loose cannon" type. Yes, you need fear and intimidation which normally keeps people in line, but in a lot of robberies when they walk in and start throwing people around, you can almost bet they'd be willing to screw over their whole crew or resort to violence regardless of the outcome. There's been a lot of cases where bank robbers have harmed people even after they got what they came for. At that point, you have more charges and it's honestly a liability. Most successful unsolved robberies were ones where not a single shot was fired or a single person harmed.

      Liam Leonard I feel like he actually is paying attention to the actions of them and not little things like what they say or what they’re wearing. I actually like how he wasn’t like the other people on here who are like “yep this is wrong because they’re wearing gray instead of black and i would be wearing black”. He actually understands it’s just a movie and parts are exaggerated.

    I think that in "Heat" you CAN see how heavy those bags are and that the robbers are actually struggling. Maybe the actors don't have to carry 70 pounds but not 10 either. I'd be surprised to find that Michael Mann hadn't thought of that aspect, that's a director who makes you repeat a scene if the sound of the clothes hangers is not to his liking.

    When I started working in law enforcement we had numerous house burglaries in a short time span. Appeared to be same people doing them. After about 3-4 we realized there was always something major happening minutes before the burglaries. Misdirection is very effective. Unfortunately. Finally, we actually were able to catch the people causing the misdirection, and they in turn ended up telling us who was committing the burglaries.

    What Lawton pointed out about "Ocean's 11" was the big problem I had with the movie: There was WAY too many people involved. If you paid attention, most of the 11 came across as arrogant asshats who, if they didn't blab before the heist would afterwards eventually brag to everyone they knew about how cool it was and how cool they were. Additionally, there was a hundred things that could have gone wrong, any one of which would have blown up the whole thing.

It's just an exercise to stress the importance of markets to students but- lines up perfectly with the thieves' mentality as well. What's it worth? Whatever the market will bear- and not one penny more.

It’s just common sense that if you want to rob something with people around, unless it’s an inside job, you’re going to need to scare people into doing what you say. No one’s going to take you seriously as a robber if you run in empty handed and just start yelling out demands.
