All that for 4 to 10 ounces of gold? Bank robbery ain't what it used to be. Dillinger is turning in his grave.

From hence ye beauties undeceived, know one false step is ne'er retrieved
and be with caution bold.
Not all that tempts your wandering eyes and heedless hearts is lawful prize,
nor all that glistens gold.
- Thomas Gray, 1747
