As reported here, there appears to be an endless string of local bank robberies recently, in broad daylight, seemingly by any old hack. I guess I was wrong, but I had been of the impression that banks were difficult to rob.

You definitely had the wrong impression. Banks are incredibly easy to rob. You don't even need a weapon. It's getting away that's the hard part.

Also, the vast majority of banks are robbed in broad daylight. That's when banks are open.
