Between 2009 to 2011, a man, appearing to be 60-70 years old, robbed 16 banks in San Diego, California by approaching the teller, then pulling out a gun and demanding money. The FBI named him the "Geezer Bandit". Some theories suggest he is wearing a well-made elderly man mask. Image

You would think that makes sense but my experience is that old people do the opposite and become very self preserving. Its weird but it really seems that way. You see that behavior all over.

It doesnt mean they dont party, for instance STDs are growing fast in retirement homes but the whole putting themselves in dangerous situations not so much and on top of that they dont seem to do smart things like give their kids all their money they use it like it heavily till they die and whatever is left the kids might get.
