The largest bank robbery in American history (in inflation-adjusted dollars), happened at this Main Street Northampton, Massachusetts location in January 1876. In a carefully planned heist, seven robbers from Brooklyn managed to steal over $1.6 million in cash, bonds and other securities (about $26 million in today's dollars) from the Northampton National Bank.
If only Northampton's most famous crime fighters had been born a century earlier! Northamptonite Kevin Eastman, creator of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, actually owned this former bank building at one time.
15th August 1733, Epping High Road, Essex, England. The Essex Gang hold up a stage coach on its way to the City of London. Dick Turpin, the famous Highwayman, leads the Essex gang on another robbery.
Dick (Richard) Turpin was the son of a farmer, born in 1706, and trained as a butcher before taking to a life of crime. The Essex gang invaded isolated farm houses and stole valuables from the female occupants. For a time the gang hid out in a cave in Epping Forest, where they watched the nearby road robbing nearly everybody who passed by.
In one robbery Dick Turpin stole the horse from a man name called Major and give his jaded mount to Major. Major didn’t take the loss lying down and after a number of events Turpin decided that he couldn’t stay in the London and Essex area any longer without getting caught and went to live in Yorkshire and took on the name John Palmer.
After a string of events in the area justice finally caught up with Dick Turpin and he was tried, found guilty, punishable by death. He was hung in Knavesmire, York’s equivalent of London’s Tyburn on 7th April 1939.
Safe robbery using explosives, Quay St Sydney, 22 June 1949, by Ted Hood, ON 388/Box 054/Item 061 collection.sl.nsw.gov.au/record/9WZWX7aY/bx5w8PbLLqb6P
Thieves held up two men and blew open four safes with gelignite early yesterday but got only £ 1 in money and stamps worth £1. Three armed and masked men tied up a night watchman and an engineer before they blew two safes in the general office of the Producers Co-op. Distributing Society Ltd. at the corner of Valentine and Quay Streets, city. They entered the building by
climbing up a pipe from a lane leading off George Street to a
window on the first floor. Soon after 3 a.m. they held up the nightwatchman, John Rae, 72, of Woods Parade, Manly, and made him walk downstairs to the engineer, David Sharp, 57, of Seventh Avenue, Campsie, on the ground floor. The men marched Rae and Sharp to the general office, told them to sit on chairs 20 yards from two safes, then bound their hands together with wire. The two safes contained only dockets and papers. The thieves used a chemical' extinguisher to put out a fire among papers. The secretary of the company, Mr. L. E. Dartnell, said later that all the money on the premises was in strong-rooms in another part of the building. Detectives under Detective-Inspector Robinson and Detective Sergeants E. Barnes, H. Gilmour, W. Crimston, and Carr, are searching for the men.

Wally went home after he helped me take care of the bank robbery. For such a small task I’m sure he thought I called him because I was distracted. He’d be wrong though, I called him because I love working with him. In some ways I’m glad that he got his powers, but in others I’m afraid that he’ll use his powers when they’re not needed and get caught.
Barry makes his way up into his room and checks his watch. As he does he remembers that he has a date at Carmine’s with Iris at eight and the time is seven fifty-five. He quickly throws off his shirt and pants and runs to his closet to get a new outfit on. He grabs a dress shirt and a jumper and pulls them over his head. Before he leaves he grabs his favorite bow-tie and wraps it around his neck quickly. The bow-tie was given to him by Iris, his wife, on their first date. With his bow-tie tied he quickly grabs his wallet and watch and makes his way to Carmine’s to meet Iris. Before he gets to Carmine’s he makes a quick stop at a flower shop. He sped through the shop and grabbed a bouquet of flowers and left the right amount of money on the counter within the blink of an eye.
Yeah, that might have been a dumb idea, but I have no time to waste. I need to get to Carmine’s quickly and I have no time to deal with the shop owner. After I grab the flowers I make my way to Carmine’s. I stop about a block away in some alley and walk from there. This is mainly to throw suspension of me being the Flash and to give me time to adjust my clothes so I don’t look like a ragamuffin to Iris.
Iris greets Barry with a big smile and her smile grows bigger as she notices both the bow-tie and the flowers. She wraps her arms around his neck and gives him a kiss on the cheek. Barry returns the gesture by wrapping his arms around her.
“Right on time. You didn’t forget about me, did you?”
”Of course not.”
“Shall we go in?” Iris says, prompting Barry to walk to the door and open it wide. Barry lifts his hand and waves it across his body as to say “After you.” Iris follows the command and walks into Carmine’s. The two join hands and walk to their favorite table. Moments pass and the waitress comes over to their table and sets two waters on the table.
“Do you know what you’re going to have tonight?” She asks as she takes out her pen and paper.
”She’ll have the chef’s salad with extra dressing, and I’ll have the spaghetti, extra spaghetti.””
“Alright, anything else?”
”No that’ll be it, thank you.”
“Alright, your food will be out soon.” The waitress smiles and turns to walk back to the back room. As she leaves, Iris pulls out a small box from her purse and shows it to Barry.
”What’s that?”
“A present.” Iris hands the box to Barry. He takes it from her and shakes it to see if he can hear anything in it.
”What is it?”
“Well open it and find out.” Iris says. Barry quickly opens the box and sees a dark red bow tie inside. He looks up at Iris with a puzzled face.
”But I…”
“It was your father’s, Barry. I found it in the attic with some of his old stuff. I also found a picture of your parents wedding. Your father had that tie on in the picture.” Barry sat in silence as he admired the bow-tie. He knew full and well that this was the tie his father wore in his parents wedding. Slowly, Barry got up from his seat and wiped away a stray tear from his cheek. Iris got up from her seat as well, and as she did so, Barry wrapped his arms around her gave her a big kiss. The two kept hugging for a while until the waitress came back to their table. She stood silently as to not disturb the moment. Barry looked over and noticed her standing there.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to break up the moment.”
”Oh, it’s fine.” Barry and Iris sat back down as the waitress placed their food in front of them. She placed down the silver ware and walked off.
“Enjoy your dinner..."

Elijah took note of the vehicle as it screeched to a desperate halt outside the window, he was half expecting a robbery, but who robbed a coffee shop? Upon seeing the sharply dressed man exit the vehicle he knew immediately that this wasn’t some drive-by, spur-of-the-moment robbery, it was something else, but what? As the man outside began to shout, he would just watch through the dirty windows, waiting to see what would happen next. To his surprise, the man that was yelling suddenly fell silent upon seeing Syhreena and appeared to tuck his tail between his legs and get to opening a door for her. Elijah raised a brow, finding this rather curious behaviour, not just the man’s, but also Syhreena’s, he thought they were about to sit down and have a cup of coffee together, but it seemed she had other plans. Now that he was sitting alone, he raised the fresh mug of hot coffee to his lips and started to drink, he hoped that maybe the woman had taken his advice, maybe this was her way of just saying ‘fuck it’ and leaving the city before it could get its hooks into her, but at this point, he really didn’t know. Not wanting to be sat there alone with no one to talk to but the waitress, he would stand up and head for the door. He would raise his mug, gesturing towards the waitress, “Taking this to go.” He said politely as he returned to the job, protecting the streets, with a coffee in one hand and a gun on his hips.
Meanwhile back in the city, the sun rose higher into the sky and people began to emerge from their homes ready to face the day ahead. While many were just starting their day, Elijah was about to finish his. Sipping from his mug, Elijah would take note that the name on the side wasn’t his own, in fact, it read ‘Shyreena’, which meant, he had something in his possession that he didn’t want. Casting his mind back a few moments, he tried to remember what the mysterious woman had asked for, then it hit him, she’d ordered a ‘large cappuccino’, his expression would shift to one of mild annoyance as he was looking forward to his bitter, black coffee, but he knew what he could have ended up with could have been far, far worse.
Upon leaving the coffee shop, he would head towards the station, enjoying the sun on his walk, he couldn’t wait to get out of his uniform, it always seemed to weigh so much more on a night shift for some reason. When he arrived at the station, he would slip into the locker room and start undoing the straps on his bulletproof vest and sliding out of each item of clothing, leaving himself standing in the locker room with nothing on but his underwear. Due to the fact, that only other members of the force were able to access the locker room he didn’t really care about who might have walked in. While he stood in just his underwear, he folded his uniform neatly before opening his personal locker and swapping the neatly folded uniform for his civilian wear and began to get dressed. With a fresh set of ‘normal’ clothes on, he was now free to go home.
After leaving the station, Elijah headed home, he lived in a simple apartment, which really didn’t have much in it but the basics, he didn’t feel the need for much else. As soon as he arrived home, he would crack a window open before throwing himself down into his bed with a cigarette and lighting up, letting the nicotine do its job while he closed his eyes and cast his mind back to the strange encounter earlier, that woman, her tattoos, that car, it all seemed to dance around in his mind and it wasn’t going away, he wanted those thoughts to stop spinning around inside his head so he could sleep, but thoughts are a nuisance sometimes. He laid there, trying to relax, and finished his cigarette. Finally sleep appeared.
Elijah had slept away most of the day, as he often did, waking up just as the evening arrived. He was on the night shift which was often the worst of all shifts, the cover of darkness seemed to bring out the worst in people, which he knew, but it didn’t really bother him, as it was part of the job, to try and stamp out the criminal element where possible like the lit ash that had been dropped from hiscigarette. Dragging himself out of bed, Elijah stepped into the shower, washing away the musk of the night before, before returning to his room, wrapping in nothing but a towel.
Eddie drove for nearly an hour before turning into an area that was surrounded by forest. He parked the car and moved to open the back door “We are here Miss “he said softly then again a bit louder. Shyreena shook her head a bit and then stepped out. She stretched and looked around and smiled. This would do nicely, she thought and turned to look at Eddie, he nodded to a huge gate that loomed in the distance, her gaze followed and there partially seen was a huge iron gate with the moon phases highlighted in brass on each bar.
She smiled a little, pleased to see some instructions followed and turn hopping back into the car “let’s begin “she said to him and he shut her door, entered the driver’s seat and proceeded towards the gate, halting as he pushed the button to open the gates, then drove onward up a windy driveway to the front door of the large stately home. He quickly hopped out and opened the door for Syhreena, she looked at him and could sense his excitement, confirmed by the tell tale signs of his jittery body movements.
She turned grabbed her items, not forgetting the cup and stepped out, ignoring his offer to help. She moved up the steps towards the large oak entry door and as she approached the door opened and a female nodded to Syhreena opening the door wider and standing back. Syhreena stopped and turned looking back towards the car “leave the car Eddie, report to the order, you are relieved of your duties” her eyes met his then she turned and entered the manor. Eddie looked down trying to hide his disappointment, knowing he was not permitted to respond he started to walk up the stairs behind her following her into the house then turned a sharp left and walked down the dark corridor out of sight.
Syhreena went to her desk and stood while she tapped away on the keyboard at lightning speed then eased the cover shut and stared out the window. She thought it ironic as the new dawn rose in the distance, the sun seemed to mark not only the start of a new day but the confirmation that the Order had begun. She sank into the chair as her mind settled and drifted into semi rest, she had hoped that she would be at the homestead before the sun rose but would have to make do thanks to Eddie being late.
Syhreena was tired, it had been a long night and she wanted to sleep. She clicked her fingers to the staff standing quietly to the side. Quickly, one followed her to her chambers. Syhreena stood thinking with her arms out as they undressed her and eased a robe onto her shoulders, she hurried them and put her arms through the arm holes and wrapped it around herself, then moved away, intending to lay on the freshly made bed and sleep; the quilt and sheets on the bed had been rolled down , Shyreena turned, flicking a finger in a movement to dismiss the staff before turning and laying down to rest, she was asleep within minutes.
The day passed quietly and when the evening commenced, a bell chimed in the room and Shyreena rose to find a meal had been served. She quickly ate, showered, then dressed in clothing that would be suited to her purpose before she phoned down to the garage informing them that she would be going to town now and headed towards the front door. The car approached and she made note that it was a different driver and hopped into the car. She was eager to move about and explore the town; her town, she was starting to feel it would become, and she was keen to become familiar with the haunts where the underdogs would gather. Her mind kept returning to Elijah, a slight flicker turned in her soul as she focused on him and she chewed her lips as she thought of what it could mean. The driver slowed the car as it reached the town site and instinctively pulled up near the worst part of town. Opening the door, he bowed as she exited and disappeared into the darkness of the evening; he watched until she was out of sight and returned moving the car away from town until he was called for again.
As the standoff continues, the hostage negotiator tried to make contact with the bank robbers in an attempt to end the incident peacefully.
After the bank robbers failed to answer the phone inside the bank several times, the hostage negotiator supported by Special Tactics Constables deployed from an armoured vehicle to make one final attempt to contact the hostage takers.
Will the bank robbers surrender?

To evade capture by authorities after his daring but ill advised train robbery attempt, Clyde ducked into a Mom and Pop lamp repair shop with his umbrella. Although he blended well, the fugitive could not hoodwink Spanky, the shop's nervous chihuahua watch dog.
Spanky was subsequently honored by John Walsh and featured on "Cops" and "Street Dogs." To Mom and Pop's dismay, Spanky packed his Milkbones and left the lamp shop for Hollywood. There, he contracted a disabling case of red mange from a mongrel bitch. Clyde savored a great deal of sweet revenge when he learned of Spanky's plight from behind the prison walls.

Lenny, Bill and Arthur put on their masks and Karen go into the bank with her dark red dress. After her distraction the 3 other Van-der-Linde gang members assault the bank. Can they survive and escape with a lot of money or will they die?
This is my 7th MOC for our Red Dead Redemption 2 collab with Tuxedo Greedo. The bank is my biggest creation and I had to order a lot of parts that I can build it. From the beginning of our collab I wanted to build a bank rober because it was one of my favourite story missions in the videogame. I chose the first one ( yes there are more bank robberies) because Valentine is my favourite town in the game. I had a lot of fun building it and I try to catch the reference as best as possible. To reach that goal I spend a lot of time in front of the bank in the game to observe NPCs and I took many pictures of the bank. I hope you like the MOC and I would be pleased to get feedback.
Greetings Kevin
