    Charlestown bank robbers were/are notoriously stupid, or perhaps
    not. A couple of years ago, one pair robbed a bank in the middle of
    Harvard Square, at busy lunchtime, and had parked the getaway car,
    illegally, right outside the bank. When they emerged from the bank,
    they found they had gotten a parking ticket. And, of course, they
    drove no further than a few yards and got stuck in traffic. The
    police approached on foot to arrest them. Detectives theorized that
    Charlestown gang members need to have a bank robbery conviction on
    their record to gain the gang's respect. Don't know whether a
    jewelery store qualifies.
