Not every bank robbery goes down like a Hollywood thriller. On this episode of The Heist, we explore five true crime stories of botched bank robberies, terrible getaway plans, and historic criminal blunders. Hear how a crew in Poynton accidentally tunneled into an empty ceiling void instead of a Royal Bank of Scotland vault, why 70-year-old Lawrence John Ripple waited in the lobby to be arrested, and how lemon juice inspired the Dunning-Kruger effect. Plus, we break down the deposit-slip holdup note disaster and the single fingerprint on a dishwasher that unraveled the 1972 United California Bank heist. Tune in for true crime comedy, weird history, and the world's dumbest criminals.
