Abstract

An essay is presented in which the author discusses public interest in the 1963 Great Train Robbery in Great Britain, led by thief Bruce Reynolds, and describes the social aspects of media coverage of heists. Crimes such as the robbing of a mail van in 1952 in London, England, Italian Valerio Viccei's robbing of safe deposit boxes in 1987 in London, and the 2006 robbery of the Securitas depot in Kent, England are described, as well as police investigation of the crimes.
