what is the most effecient way to rob a bank if you have, say;
1. an SUV
2. 10 willing people
3. $50,000
4. a beretta for each person
5. the blueprints

I am looking for some diligent debate people...

Work at the bank your whole life until you have direct access to the vault, steal the money and leave the country.

that is SO convinient

Go in-> ask for your account details-> take a pen-> leave.

genius. pure genius.

I lolled so hard at kaas' suggestion that a little bit of wee came out.


Seriously though:

Note: you're all wearing balaclavas and anything in here that you didn't mention in the "what you have with you" bit is bought with the £50,000

1) you leave one guy in the SUV with a radio so he can contact you quickly and maybe a police radio if you can get hold of one. He's the getaway driver and the lookout.

2) turn the "open" sign on the door to "closed"

3) shoot any of the cashiers whose hands you can't see and tell the rest to get where you can see them and on the ground.

4) when you get inside you leave six guys with the customers and staff, if possible take them to a back room where they won't be in view of people wandering by on the street.

5) the rest of you go with the bank manager and force him to open the vault at gun point.

6) one of you keeps his gun pointed at the bank manager whilst the rest load up anything valuable (money, bullion, the crown jewels) into bags and take them out to the SUV. It may be easier to shoot the bank manager so you have one less person to worry about but on the other hand you could get blood spatter on the money.

7) when all the money's in the SUV you get in too and thell the getaway driver to drive back to your hideout

8) tell the other members of your gang that you only rented the guns so you need them to give them all back

9) shoot all the gang members so you don't have to share the money

10) drive the SUV to the real hideout, aka your house and take the money inside

11) throw a huge party and find that no one comes because you just shot all your friends.

1) Have some guys zip-line onto roof of bank and disable alarms.
2) Enter bank with guns. Shoot anyone whose hands you can't see.
3) Get into vault with drills, explosives, whatever.
4) Have driver crash backwards though the bank wall with school bus
5) Toss money into the bus
6) Leave bank, getting in line with other school busses sot hat police have a hard time tracking you.

It'll also help to give everyone masks, and to tell them to kill each other so that when there's only one left, you can kill him and leave. Oh, and you kill the bus driver.

No, no, no. I kill the bus driver...

my idea was always quite strange


you basically get a group of 5-6 people for each bank in a chosen city, so you end up having loads of individual teams.

The individual teams do not know that this is going on, they think they are the only ones robbing a bank on this certain day.


Every team hits all the banks at exactly the same time, confusing the police / armed response, and one team is bound to come back safe with teh lootz.

lol, you do the scene at the start of the dark night (the batman film)... It'll work if your the ring-leader !

I already said that.

actually, this is my plan:

1) assemble a group of fake "hippies" to go and protest outside a bank against Iraq or some shit like that, they think its a real protest. then turn violent. have your friends chuck molotovs at the roof of the bank and then its a domino effect form there. while the bank follows a specific evacuation protocol, you sneak inside the building with masks and silenced guns. in the smoke, peg anyone who is in your way. then make your way to the safe. either find the manager, ask him for the code, and kill him, or use any kind of way to open the safe, the smoke is too thick. escape with the money while the 5-0 is dealing with the violent protestors, then light more molotovs inside the building so it goes up in smoke, leaving no evidence. for all the cops know, it was the hippies fault. you use the money, put it into checks in one bank, and cash them in in another bank, using diff. money. (steal a dead guys ID for this) then fly out into Brazil, where the US cant get u, (if they try) chill for about 2 yeears, then buy a private jet and travel to america and resume life there.

great plan eh?

If an evacuation plan works like it should they should all be out before you, making it easy picking for the cops who the deliquents are.
Pens are a lot easier to cash and are hardly traceable.

Actually these days a lot of banks have pens with the banks name on the side of them. You'd have to give the pen a new paint job.

Good point, maybe roll back the millage. Replace the cartridge :\
