Yes.
Scoped out a bank and found enough public information to plan out a heist down to the minute. From when the vault opened every day when the money truck showed up, how long the response time from the police was estimated to be, to how many cameras were in and their angles of view. I knew low traffic times, high traffic times, the exact layout of the building. I knew exactly when two of the three desk ladies went out for their smoke breaks at the same hour on the hour every Friday to make plans. I knew how long the manager would be out for lunch. I knew how long the "security officer" took for a lunch break.
I knew the exact 15 minute window I would need with 3-6 individuals (4 safely, 3 to be cheap) to empty that vault and be gone with at least 80k-100k depending on whether the money truck was there that morning.
The problem?
The building sits across the street from a two story house and in that house there's a fucking NEET who's desk is right next to the window facing the bank. A window he never fucking moves from. And whenever the ladies come out for their smoke break, the neckbeard heckles them at least once or twice maybe, but not every day. If he heckles them, the ladies go to their cars. If he doesn't, they stay outside.
The plan would depend on that lousy rat and whether or not he heckled the women. If he did, we'd be green and could slip in from the side and be done before they came back in. If he didn't, we'd have to call it and wait a week as the heist would only be successful on a Friday.
Really didn't like the idea of robbing a bank based off one useless oxygen sucker. But, since it was more for literary experience and a college experiment essay deal, I never had to actually deal with the guy and it all remained "what if-".
Edit: I've also planned out a number of other crimes, some of which I'll actually be implementing in the future of my current story depending on how things roll. But that heist was the most hands-on I've been to an IRL crime.
