Not that it drastically improves the statement, but the tagline for the article

> a bank was robbed every hour of every day.

But the article itself clarifies they mean "each banking day" and the worst year had about seven robberies a day. Still a shocking amount, but not the 24 a day implied.

Moreover, the worst year was 1992, which isn't in the 80ies last I checked...
The 80's still could have averaged one an hour even if the worst year was 92.
Except it didn't even average one an hour in the worst year
*hour the bank was open. Thought my first post made that clear.
