Look, let's get something straight: robbery is bad. Unless you are robbing from the poor to give to the rich. Or are a suave gentleman thief who is more in it for the thrill than the score. Or if you are the ringleader of a gang that stole the Eiffel Tower.

The point is this: it's great to be a robber if you are cool. Here's our choice for thieves who had that something extra that puts them ahead of your common criminal in life's great police line-up.
