The term "robbery" is used to describe taking things where there is physical violence or the threat of physical violence involved.

"Theft" is just taking something. Frankly, they didn't even seem to manage that.

These fellows are well-qualified to hold public office, that's clear enough.

Probably something like an iPod, or a C64 knowing the law enforcement people. To them anything is "advanced".

Of course, it could have been a USB dongle plugged into a bank terminal and hacking Windows, but given how banks work, I doubt it.
