FBI statistics on bank robberies alarming
The Federal Bureau of Investigations released national bank robbery statistics for the last quarter of 2008 and there was one alarming stat:
Of the nearly $15.4 million taken from banks during October and December, only about $1.7 million was recovered, according to the FBI.
So it appears if robbers can get out of the bank with cash, which has been a problem for some, the chance of police recovering the cash is pretty low.
There were a total of 1,645 bank robberies across the country in the last quarter of 2008, according to the FBI. Money was taken in 93 percent of those robberies.
The day of the week most robberies occurred: Wednesday (430) followed by Tuesday (408). The day of the week a bank robbery was least likely to occur: Monday (excluding Sunday).

There is a difference in money being recovered and money actually going into the evidence room, or staying there for that matter.
