Which United States city is the “Bank Robbery Capital of the World”?
(Bzzzzzt!) Oh, I’m sorry. That was a trick question. If you answered “Los Angeles”, you would have been correct for a long time.
But last year, San Francisco actually passed LA.
The seven-county region covered by the FBI’s L.A. office saw a mere 212 bank robberies in 2013, reaching a low not seen since the 1960s. That’s less than a tenth of what it was at its height in the early ’90s, when the region logged 2,641.
(And I’ve mentioned this before, but Where the Money Is
is a swell book that I enthusiastically recommend.)
Gonzaga!
A sixth-round pick?
