The Wild West (Well, Kind Of)
Once upon a time, not so long ago, LA had a reputation as the bank robbery capital of the world. It was like every other day, some poor teller was having their morning coffee interrupted by a demand for cash. In the golden age of bank heists (yes, there was one), LA was the place to be if you were a wannabe Bonnie and Clyde. The numbers were staggering. Like, "one bank robbery every 45 minutes" staggering. Can you imagine the chaos?
QuickTip: Stop to think as you go.
The Good News (For Tellers, Anyway)
But fear not, citizens of LA! Those days are thankfully behind us. The number of bank robberies has plummeted. It’s like the city decided to trade in its "Ocean's Eleven" reputation for a more wholesome image. Maybe it's the improved security systems, maybe it's the realization that robbing a bank is actually harder than it looks on TV, or maybe everyone just decided to get a real job. Who knows? But the bottom line is, you're less likely to be caught in a crossfire while withdrawing your life savings.

So, What’s the Verdict?
The exact number of bank robberies in LA fluctuates yearly, but it's a far cry from the heydays. While it’s still a crime that happens, the chances of you witnessing one are about as high as winning the lottery (without buying a ticket). So, unless you're planning a career change to become a bank robber (which, by the way, is highly discouraged), you probably don’t need to worry too much about it.
Tip: Take notes for easier recall later.
