According to "The New York Times" and the "Saturday Evening Post", the first bank robbery in the United States occurred in March 1831 (the 19th according to the "Times", the 20th according to the "Post"). Two men, James Honeyman and William J. Murray, entered the City Bank of New York using forged keys. This allowed them to empty the vault of more than $245,000 in bank money. According to the "Times", it cannot be confirmed if this was a robbery or a burglary. The "Post" later corrected this claim upon learning of a previous 1798 robbery of $162,821 from the Bank of Pennsylvania at Carpenters' Hall. The Carpenters' Hall theft also may not have technically been a robbery as there were no signs of force and the thief may have had a key.
