Luciano Lutring è l'ultimo vero rappresentante della Mala Milanese Romantica. Una malavita che si muoveva tra le osterie, le case di ringhiera e sperava di mettere a segno il colpo che gli avrebbe cambiato la vita, quello che ti sistema una volta per tutte. Luciano Lutring, però, ha fatto molto di più: è entrato nell'Olimpo della Mala, il paradiso dove riposano tutti i banditi che hanno lasciato il segno. Il suo: inventare le rapine eleganti, nascondendo il mitra dentro una custodia di violino e consegnando fiori alle commesse delle gioiellerie, scusandosi per il disturbo.

Tidligt om morgenen den 10. august 2008 kørte en gummiged ind i Dansk Værdihåndterings central i Brøndby. Gerningsmændene slap afsted med omkring 70 millioner kr. Røveriet var ekstremt professionelt planlagt. Røverne var bevæbnet med automatvåben og bar skudsikre veste, de havde spredt partisansøm på vejene omkring gerningsstedet og placeret 11 brændende lastbiler, som blokerede for politiet.

Il resoconto autobiografico (da parte di uno che di mestiere faceva il ladro e non lo scrittore) di una sensazionale rapina all'American Express nei primi anni del Novecento, nonché della vita all'Île du Diable, dove Guerin fu deportato dai francesi quando lo pizzicarono e lo condannarono all'ergastolo, e della successiva, ancor più clamorosa fuga dal carcere.

I augusti 1973 rånade bankrånaren Jan-Erik Olsson en bank i Stockholm och tog fyra bankanställda som gisslan. Han krävde att brottslingen Clark Olofsson skulle släppas ur fängelset och föras till banken. Det slutade med att Olofsson stannade där inne i sex dagar. Gisslansituationen slutade väl, men att gisslan fick sympati för brottslingarna var spektakulärt. Fallet gav namn åt det berömda fenomenet Stockholmssyndromet, där personer som hålls fångna mot sin vilja utvecklar en relation till sin eller sina frihetsberövare och tar parti för denna eller dessa inför polisen.

Danmarks förmodligen mest hatade fånge, Peter Madsen, lyckades fly från Herstedvesterfängelset en morgon i oktober 2020.

Madsen hann dock bara vara fri i ett kort ögonblick innan han fördes tillbaka till sin cell.

Den 3 januari 1960 rymde tre fångar från det ökända fängelset Alcatraz, även känt som "Klippan". De tre fångarna, Frank Lee Moris och bröderna John och Clarence Anglin, flydde på natten på en flotte bort från ön där fängelset låg. Flotten och männen hittades aldrig igen.

On the 8th August 1963 a gang of 15 men stopped a mail train in Buckinghamshire and proceeded to steal sacks of money worth £2.6 million. It was the biggest heist ever carried out in the UK and frontpage news around the world. The mastermind behind this most audacious crime of the twentieth century was Bruce Reynolds. Perhaps the last of the 'gentlemen villains'; Reynolds epitomised that particular breed of sharply dressed post-war criminals who mixed with royalty and movie stars, and never carried a gun. They thrived on adventure and glamour, and the Great Train Robbery was their last ride.
