The Stopwatch Gang, which was famous for its speedy heists--including the 1974 robbery of $700,000 in gold bars from the Ottawa Airport--was named for a stopwatch Reid wore. They were known for non-violent methods and politeness to victims. The gang's story is recorded in several television documentaries and books, including Mitchell's autobiography, This Bank Robber's Life, which he wrote from prison.
