For some cash-strapped individuals, bank robbery may seem like the perfect solution. Just walk in, "withdraw" some money, and financial problems are solved. Providing the police don't catch the robber, of course.

Unfortunately for would-be bank robbers, GPS tracking has made the likelihood of being caught much higher. A GPS tracking unit can be easily hidden with the cash and can be disguised to look like the rest of the money - making it much difficult for the robber to find and dispose of the GPS unit before police are able to find and arrest the robber. And rest assured, they will. The GPS tracking unit will monitor the robber's exact location, allowing police to see where the money is, what stops have been made, and at what speed the money is traveling. All police have to do is follow the GPS unit's directions to collect the robber and recover the money.
GPS tracking is useful because it allows police to know exactly where a bank robber is. If they are not able to reach the bank before the robber leaves, all they have to do is locate the GPS unit, and thus the money - and the robber. Often a GPS tracking unit will guide police to the bank robber's home, sometimes within just minutes of the robbery.
A GPS unit will also allow police to track the bank robber on the roads, so if police catch up with the robber on the road, they can continue to follow him or her until the robber is apprehended. If the robber flees, on car or on foot, so long as he or she takes the money along, the police can continue to pursue. One bank robber in Kentucky learned this the hard way when he attempted to avoid police in his stolen car, then eventually left the car and tried to escape on foot. The GPS unit hidden in the money continued to guide police to him, however, until he was apprehended.
For those who do choose to attempt bank robbery to solve their financial woes, the risks are just not worth it. A man in Pennsylvania netted only about $600 from his robbery, and then was apprehended on his way home because of a GPS tracking unit hidden with his stolen money. Banks are no longer quick withdraw stations for those who want money that isn't theirs. GPS tracking makes bank robberies much more risky and the chances of escaping much more unlik...
