According to the FBI’s recently released second quarter Bank Crime statistics, bank robbers are most likely to rob a bank between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. on Friday; more robbers stated their demands verbally than by passing a note, and only 4 percent of incidents involved violence. The FBI also noted that, despite the recession, there were fewer bank robberies than last year.

Loot was taken in 92 percent of the incidents, totaling more than $9.5 million.
Of the loot taken, 28 percent of it was recovered. More than $1.4 million was returned to the financial institutions.
The southern region of the U.S. had the most violations, with 445 reported incidents.
