History is full of criminals.

During the week of March 17th and 1881, two career criminals broke into a Manhattan bank,

stealing the equivalent of over 50 million in today's money.

It was considered one of the earliest major bank robberies in U.S. history,

and nearly 200 years later, in 2010, another robbery made headlines when a college student in

Nashville, Tennessee held up a bank dressed as a leprechaun.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, everyone.
