I assumed it was to keep from dropping hair and skin particles everywhere
I think the point of this is that they're opportunist heists nor rigorously planned? The robber didn't have a mask on hand and it just happens to be what's available ? Not like everywhere sells masks but everywhere definitely sells stockings.
I wish you could search things online again cause im curious too now
Why would a movie want the features of the movie star they paid millions for to be visible?
Ain't no one got time to go to the balaclava store before a heist.
There's an ex jewel thief who did an interview and said he used pantyhose, I'll find the clip in a few minutes

Not an interview but him reviewing movies, here's where he talks about it. Its a much more brief mention then I thought but there you go.
If you were worth 10 million dollars would you go and rob something? If you got 10 million in your house why are you going to rob another million and go to prison for?
Maybe it's for the thrill.
Thrill? Jerk off more!
I love this man.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Prevent hair and saliva from leaving trace evidence. Hearing is much less dampened. Take some scissors and cut some eye holes. Opaque ones better obscure your features. Also, you can quickly melt them for evidence disposal.
do you know this from being an ex soldier or from being trans
Maybe a little column a, maybe a little column b.
I think it smooshes the face up right? Also has the advantage of complete peripheral vision which balaclava or masks obscure
The director had a fetish. But also nothing else tho.
Easy to obtain, keeps vision, obscures identity, easy removal. Beanie that unfolds into balaclava is the only better option
I don't think that actually obscures your features enough to work as a disguise
I think they probably did. In the pre-HD camera era where most cameras were of questionable quality. They softened your features enough that a positive ID was made more difficult and same with eye-witnesses. Like yeah people could pick you out of a line-up without them compared to with them but they wouldn't be able to give police sketch artists descriptions that were as good.
That and unlike masks they're sold everywhere. Any drug store you could buy some. Any big box store. etc.
Also consider many masks take time to put on. Time during which you look very suspicious putting on a mask. Whereas these you can quickly slip over your head in a few seconds before anyone has time to really scrutinize you. They can appear and disappear from a pocket in moments. And unlike a balaclava you can just toss them on.
If they had the money for proper equipment they would not have to rob people now would they?
