I started following banknotes thx to The Fucking Word of the Day. Funny how this tumblr already has a book out, nice…
‘Note’ robberies are the single most popular method of robbing banks today. Some use a one-line directive. Others are explicit in detail. Some are plain bizarre. Each day there is another.
This book collects Notes from successful and unsuccessful bank robberies - “note jobs” in FBI-parlance. And much like you see here on this blog, provides the vital stats for each attempt.
The contents of these hapless acts fall somewhere between Art and Sociology. Ever since Woody Allen’s ‘Take the Money and Run’ I have been intrigued by the brutal urgency of demand notes and the audacity of those who have created them.
