Two alien robots visit Earth and transform into humanoids in California and recruit a third man in LA to help them rob the State Street bank for a demo-study!

Man, I had to do one more heist story, and this one is actually not political at all (sorry!), but I really hope my friends read this last one and like it. Thanks so much for all your readership over the years and during this Coronavirus tribulation. Stay safe and God bless,

Two alien A.I. robots from the faraway planet called Rai named Cyclonus and Agus began spying on human civilization from Earth's moon. These two robots were intrigued by humanity's special love of storytelling and cinema and in particular Americans' fascination with comic book art. Cyclonus and Agus were specifically fascinated by American youngsters' celebration of the fictional Gotham City bank-robbing team known as the Red Hood Gang (DC Comics). The Red Hood Gang obviously symbolized a macro-appreciation of the tangibility of anti-systemic subversion and capital displacement.

Cyclonus and Agus decided to transform themselves into humanoid beings and travel to Earth and rob a bank together and raise the market value of Red Hood comics in America. These two clever A.I. robots from the faraway planet of Rai decided to rob the impressive State Street bank in California during the Halloween season in the post-Coronavirus quarantine year of 2024. The State Street bank was formidable and would require serious diligence and cunning to rob.

CYCLONUS: This will be a fine madness!

AGUS: I think this robbery will inspire new forms of capitalism storytelling!

Cyclonus became a Los Angeles online broker named Ted Caesar. He was ready to wear a mask and rob the State Street bank with his robot-pal Agus. Cyclonus (Ted Caesar) looked the part of a subversion machinating young American.

Agus meanwhile transformed himself into an Algerian-American online eBay merchant named Isaac Satan. Agus (Isaac Satan) wanted to look like an average capitalism-patriotic American citizen living in southern California and was ready to mask himself for the State Street bank with his robot-pal Cyclonus (Ted Caesar).

Ted (Cyclonus) and Isaac (Agus) met a gorgeous young California media industry figure named Julie Bowman. Julie was researching various bank robbery films while preparing for a new Scorsese bank robbery film starring Leo DiCaprio and George Clooney. Ted and Isaac decided to meet with Julie and have her be part of the robbery, though she wouldn't have any knowledge of the actual intention to steal. Julie would be a distraction tool to avoid the need to take a hostage.

Ted and Isaac realized they needed one more man for the State Street bank robbery, so they recruited an aspiring but frustrated American actor named Tom Hale. Tom himself was trying to land a role in a new movie about young California professionals frustrated with Wall Street, but he was having difficulty climbing the ranks in the media industry. Ted and Isaac persuaded Tom to help them rob the State Street bank during the Halloween season. Tom was now on board and eager.

Tom was trained by Ted and Isaac, since he was more fresh and naive regarding the dangers of bank robbery than the two humanoid-disguised alien-robots from the faraway planet of Rai. Ted and Isaac had Tom train by wearing disguises and lurking around L.A. at night, trying to be some kind of 'nightcrawler' and trying to feel his way around the 'art' of piracy.

The three robbers would carry three toy machine-guns into the State Street bank. They'd actually go into the bank the day before as customers seeking to open accounts and then opting not to as a trio of recent L.A. emigrants. They'd plant the toy machine-guns in a hidden area in one of the bathrooms by the ventilation duct.

On the day of the robbery, the robbers had their media pal Julie Bowman walk in and do her usual reports on bank infrastructure and design and general traffic aesthetics, telling the bank to prepare for three fake robbers who're planning to walk in that day wearing masks and wielding toy machine-guns as a media-prank in preparation for the research required for the new hyped Scorsese film about bank robbery starring Leo DiCaprio and George Clooney. The bank personnel welcomed Ms. Bowman and were thrilled to see the three fake-robbers arrive to stage their audacious media research!

However, the State Street bank was talked about much in the press during the production of the new hyped Scorsese film about bank robbery, and one LAPD detective named Val Bullock decided that some nut comic book fan might try to rob the bank itself in real life. Officer Bullock decided to stakeout the State Street bank day-in and day-out, and on that day of the robbery Ted/Isaac/Tom were performing, Bullock was parked outside the bank looking for anything unusual.

After Ms. Bowman prepped the bank personnel for the media-stunt and research performed by the three masked men wielding toy machine-guns, she promptly left and returned to her movie studio lot in Hollywood, as requested by the three men who promised to send her a video of the robbery stunt for the movie research. The three men then walked in pretending to be the same returning customers and opting now to actually open an account. They then walked into the bathroom together and put on their masks and procured their toy machine-guns hidden in the ventilation duct the day before by them and walked out informing the bank personnel they were indeed robbing the bank! When the bank personnel asked them, "Are you the media-stunt movie research fake-robbers sent by the Scorsese company as Ms. Bowman informed earlier?", they calmly told them, "Well, if we were, we wouldn't disclose that, just to keep the mystique up." The bank personnel at that point truly didn't know if these 'fake-robbers' were actually fake or real life dangerous men with real guns, so they decided to just calmly direct them to the vault-room and allowed them to walk out of the State Street bank with over $40 million worth in diamonds. LAPD Officer Bullock was helpless and couldn't stop this activity! The bank personnel simply hoped these three robbers were actually the fake robbers who were going to perform the movie studio research stunt!

Ted/Isaac/Tom then found three random men walking near the State Street bank and gave them $100 to walk into the State Street bank and tell the bank manager they were good friends with the movie-industry figure Ms. Julie Bowman (as a pre-planned harmless street prank!). The three random men decided to do this prank, and Ted/Isaac/Tom meanwhile fled away on the LA freeway undetected in a Benz green van, which, of course, was stolen out of Fresno a week earlier.

Tom got half of the money, and Ted and Isaac split the other half between themselves. Ted and Isaac decided to anonymously mail half of the diamond-traded money they procured to Ms. Julie Bowman, urging her to get more American youngsters to see more bank-robbery films like The Newton Boys and read robbery comics like Red Hood Gang (DC Comics) to become more enthusiastic about new age capitalism, terrorism, crime-fighting, and of course, security folklore.
