60% of bank robberies go unsolved

My theory about bank robbers is I think you get away with robbing banks way more than we're told... I think like 60% of bank robberies go unsolved. It's a great business model.

According to the FBI, the clearance rate for bank robberies is typically around 50-60%, meaning PFT's claim that 60% go *unsolved* is roughly the inverse of reality.
