Reply to comment by Dark_Styx in Danish bank workers celebrate first full year without robberies by asteriskspace

Yes, and because this is the least-effective (amount stolen) and most-risky way to steal money from a bank, it doesn't severely impact the banks themselves.

I'm skeptical about your point #2 that the news media has a social conscience, but, maybe.... :)

It isn't very risky as far as I'm aware, first time robbers generally aren't caught unless they try again. It also doesn't even impact the banks if a lot is stolen, because everything is insured anyway.

In the US anyway banks remain one of the riskiest places to rob. Not only are banks completely covered in cameras, but robbing them is a federal crime. A lot more resources will be diverted to finding you than a normal robbery that might only involve the local police.
