Another fascinating article, this on on Time magazine’s website, by Brad Tuttle concerning the declining rate of bank robberies around the country:

I tend to agree with the article:  Bank robbery is too high risk/low reward.  Interestingly, ATM machines are hit and electronic types of theft continue, but it appears actual, physical bank robberies are on the decline.
