Twelve banks. The key was picking the
right bank at the right time. I focused on small town banks
with older vaults, pre-1950. The relocking mechanisms
on the newer models are more difficult to blow. But just as important, I needed the bank to have
a vacant building next to it with an adjoining wall. If you check the dates
of the robberies, you'll notice I always
went in on a Friday night over a three-day
holiday weekend. I would enter the bank through
an air conditioning vent. It took patience
and a steady hand to drill through
composition steel doors, something I couldn't rush. I preferred using gelignite
stuffed into balloons. That'll blow almost any bolt
