Absolutely any 17 year old can walk into a bank/shop and get out with cash. Preferably armed and not alone.

The challenge is to get out and never be caught.

According to a family friend who used to work bank robberies for the FBI, it's very easy to get away with one bank robbery. It's the compounding evidence when you commit more that gets you. Of course, that was a couple decades ago. I'm sure better surveillance technology has shifted that balance some.
