Hey Boogie, does a bank being robbed hold any higher importance to a store or house being robbed?
Not per s. At least, it's not about "importance", but rather, in which instance are the police more likely to catch the robber.
My gut instinct would be that homes tend to be robbed when their owners are not home. Hence the timeframe isn't as urgent, and unless there's some promising evidence, it will be harder to find the perpetrators.
In contrast with bank robberies, which are usually committed during the hours of operation, where the tellers can trigger the alarm for an immediate police response (as opposed to private home alarm systems, which just signal the private company, who will likely just dispatch a private guard if the owners aren't home, who will take three hours to get there), as well as the bank having security cameras, and other security measures.
I know in one recent bank robbery in Toronto, Toronto Police were on scene within 90 seconds of the robber leaving the bank. That sort of quick response leads to a good chance of catching the robber.
I'd imagine that bank robberies are usually more well-planned and professional.
Oh, I wouldn't go
that far.
