The risk reward on bank robbery is not good. They don't carry much money for you to be able to grab, the serial numbers will be recorded and traced back when they show up spent, and they put a lot of effort into catching robbers. Any thing that causes a bank to lose money is made into a serious crime they prosecute hard.
Idk what's a better way to get some money if you have to, but robbing a bank is not it. Unless you can do it well, some dudes in Sweden hijacked a helicopter and stole a 17 million dollar equivalent bank transfer on some skyscraper that had a helipad. They supposedly caught them, but never recovered the money as I'm aware.
busking isn't bad. if you don't know how to play, choose a quieter instrument and learn in public.
Not so far away from my place there is a big mall where at the entrance there is is this guy playing styrian harmonica (I think, but his is smaller size and is 100% not Accordion). He has a speaker that plays backing-track.
I play an instrument and know a thing or two about music. I swear that this guy just keeps playing random chords (more like random notes that doesnt make a valid chord 90% of the time) while backing-track covers him up. He must be quite often playing there as I see him on my random visits to the mall almost every time.
He doesn't even try to hide his skills, as some fake street musicians sometimes do. I wonder if he gets any money from busking.
