"Im not endorsing crime you guys, but this is how you do it to be most efficient."
can't be that efficient he got caught
@@spambot7110 I mean think about how many robberies he got away with though. Most people can't even get away with one hahaha
@@spambot7110 Sure after 20 years in organized crime.
Well the government sect he now works with has these same tips plus more.
@@Shewas-kathybates
Big brain time
They want you to become criminal so they can catch you. And get paid.
tutorial not clear enough, im sentenced to 9 years in prison
😂😂😂 Don't worry.. Soon they're releasing "Man who has successfully escaped more than 20 prisons"...
Stay strong😅
Did you turn the cheats on?
URSALTYGAMER Z oh shid, forgot
@Y O J I M B O 用心棒 killer :DDDD
Looks like he broke the LAWton.
Larry: “I was a robber along time ago”
Me: I wonder how long ago?
Larry: “You got a fence for diamonds. A fence for clothes. A fence for VCRs”
Me: Say no more
ahahah! yes, when he said "VCRs" I was like "is he talking about what I think he's talking?"
Imagine if he said a fence for NFT's
A fence for Walkmans and transistor radios.
hahaha. i love that tell
If he said a fence for records I would’ve lost it lol.
4:47 "Thrill?! J*ck off more!!!"🤣🤣🤣 One of my favorite quotes by Larry
And it's one of the first things I have to take issue with. Uncle Larry has obviously never had "f*** you money". At some point, you can have so much money that it ceases to have value. It's like water, or carpet... it's just one more thing you have, use, and never think about. Crown was robbing the place because he wanted a challenge. (watch the whole movie. there's a lot going on.)
Gosh i finally found what i was looking for.
@@jfbeam Nah, I understand Larry's reason. For him, as someone who so poor he had to rob. He would never understand a rich man doing it for fun only. As he said, doing crime is dangerous, most of the time you end up in jail, so he never comprehend why people risk their lives for fun. Which is totally reasonable.
Perfect response, didn’t miss a beat😂
This guy switched "You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain." to "You either die a villain, or live long enough to see yourself become the hero."
Wholesome

What if he lives long enough to turn back into a villain?
"My name is Larry Lawton, and this is my Masterclass"
hahahahahaha u got me
Lol
This made my day, thanks
He answered a lot of questions I was wondering. Especially the bank one. However I find it odd that I already knew a lot of his suggestions. I think I need help lol
HAHAHAJAJWJAJAJSHAHAHA
Imagine this guy calling himself "Uncle Larry", crashing a Christmas party and giving you an expensive gift like "Woah, an apple watch? Where'd you get this???" and he goes "Ah I know a couple guys- I'm KIDDING Angela, Amazon delivery's run by the devil himself, jeez..." as your mom glares at him :) seems like a fun dude to tell you stories you don't care are real or fake, they're fun and make you laugh
Lol
It fell off a truck.
That was so specific haha
Yeah real fun until his world crashes in on you and either someone he robbed or owes money to comes to your family with a vengeance. Or the feds catch on and suck you into it, staking out your place, interrogating you and making you feel like you’re guilty of something just because your family member is who they are, then they try to use you against them and that’s a whole other kind of guilt. Not to mention the embarrassment when it goes around town your family has a criminal in it. Everyone starts looking at you differently. Friends, gf, neighbors, people you see on a daily basis.
Had an uncle like that. He was really cool and trust me was the favorite uncle, until he wasn’t. Then it was just a nightmare for us, even long after he went to jail.

"I do not condone criminal activity"
*proceeds to give a step by step tutorial on said criminal activity*
Giving you a tip means hes givint law enforcement tips on what youre doing.
This dude saying "I'd take stealing apple watches over picasso any day" while wearing an apple watch is hilarious
There are definitely some painting I wouldn't mind falling off a truck.
@Q. E. D. the paintings are 1 of 1 there easily tracked if they see that on the black market they can track the person and ban there in trouble
@Q. E. D. with apple watches they make million of them and they cant track them and find the person
You beat me to this comment.
Shoulda worn a Picasso.
Plot twist : Larry wanted to know the insides of Vanity Fair, that's why he agreed to participating in this video
😂

"hey could i use the bathroom in the back by any chance?"
Underrated comment.
Stonks
larry knows exactly what everyone watching this video is thinking lmao he reminded us like every 5 seconds NOT to go rob a place
I find it pretty funny how with a lot of professionals on this channel, you have them going "oh, the characters made a mistake here, this would never happen"...
... while Larry goes "oh yeah, they made a mistake, and that's _precisely_ why it's realistic".
This guy looks like the really cool uncle that your parents don't want you hanging out with
I'm sure he *IS* the really cool uncle someone's parents dont want them hanging around with.
Marie Fiction I didn’t know weebs had a sense of humor
i didn't know bay area sports fans had toes
bro i legit have an uncle like that. He was an ex helicopter pilot in the old wars. He was somewhere in asia. Italian of course and legit has connections to the itlian mafia. Like at the time the dude met someone who said hid kill someone for free since he was family. cool times.
Marie Fiction hahaha exactly!!!!
This guy is _far_ too likable. I think he needs his own show.
I'd love to see him talk about famous cases and how they were pulled off, especially ones that were never solved.
Ninedaysjane LOL
Yeah, he should be in movies too.
Joseph Schultz yes
Check out his comment above you, he has his own channel now. Looks new, oldest vid I see is 3 weeks old I think
I can respect the fact that Larry never used brute force or violence but rather intimidation.
Bet if someone started swinging on him or shooting he would have been doing it right back lol. Never say Never -Justin Beiber
@@ChickenCrewNews watch his youtube video on how he got caught. Somebody was shooting at him, and he had guns but didn't shoot back.
He didn't have an actual gun, it was a bb gun, if it was an actual gun he would've got like 100 years
@@slonk420 he said he did but he threw them in a pond
@@eelek1 in one of the robberies he found a sack full of guns iirc for security and that’s when he threw those in a river while escaping. I think he still kept his BB gun with him
As a former 7-11 worker I can say that yes they don't want you to fight back. It's in our training to just give them what they want. I almost got fired for disarming the guy who tried to rob me one night, fight or flight kicked in. You never know how you're going to react when someone has a gun against your head until you experience the situation yourself.
Sure you did buddy.

@@mrstfu1170 r/wooooosh
It's darkly hilarious how many times he has to reiterate that everything he's describing is morally wrong, like he knows how naturally convincing he sounds
The King of the Penguins he knows that he could convince a saint to case a joint for him
@@jackleavens1661 he probably already did
only took him 12 yrs in prison to understand what’s right and what’s wrong.
lol ... I think it's more a sign of how much he *truly* disliked Federal Prison. People who have been in the system are acutely aware of how difficult it actually is to get out, and paranoid about being sent back.
It could also be a fear that a judge could watch this and say "Hmmm, have you really learned your lesson? You're talking about it in a way that makes me think you haven't.. 2 more years for you."
Cause let's be real, that's entirely likely.
As a writer who constantly needs random “iffy” information, thank you! You know what kinda lists I’ll end up on by searching heists and how to break into certain buildings? These videos are a Godsend
That's exactly why I'm watching this,I'm writing a jewelry heist rn and this video is really helpful😭
I knew I would meet fellow writers here
THANK YOU! Now all I need is for someone to explain to me how to get my spy character into the US national treasury. Any ideas?
@@kambrieearl4299 Consult Larry Lawton, he probably does
16:58 One touch I liked in the movie is that the brothers rob local branches, so the feds initially can't get involved when it's not a national branch. And they initially take nothing higher than $20s to avoid countermeasures like dye packs. It's only when they get greedy later that it all falls apart
When you are so good at being a Criminal that the Police hire you.

SNITCH....
Theres a show about this called White Collar would recommend
"I'm not a jewel thief. I'm a robber."
Vanity Fair: puts jewel thief in title
I don't think you can be " a jewel robber " you can be " a jewellery store robber " but that would look weird on the title.
Jewel thief sounds more dramatic
Ex thief
Theft is the removal of property without the owner's permission with the intention if keeping/selling it, but it's theft because there is no use of force and/or intimidation on the victim directly. Robbery is the act of using force and/or intimidation directly on the victim to take that person's property. No force or intimidation means not a robbery.
well to be fair, "jewel thief" is a much more recognizable phrase than "jewel robber"
I absolutely love that this guy literally went to the Gemological Institute of America just to learn how to do more valuable robberies
The thing about robberies too, is that you don't wanna get involved with anyone who's the "loose cannon" type. Yes, you need fear and intimidation which normally keeps people in line, but in a lot of robberies when they walk in and start throwing people around, you can almost bet they'd be willing to screw over their whole crew or resort to violence regardless of the outcome. There's been a lot of cases where bank robbers have harmed people even after they got what they came for. At that point, you have more charges and it's honestly a liability. Most successful unsolved robberies were ones where not a single shot was fired or a single person harmed.
These online training courses are getting really interesting.
Hahah! I like the way you think.

Me: *Taking notes* Sure
Lets gang up... South bridge, 11:45 when sun is shining at an 40 degree angle and reflects on passing by people, safe is opening at 11:50 and closes after 15 minutes. Cops will be here in 10, at least 1 patrol car will be first, so we got 5 minutes to get in and out. Take the hard stuff, no paper, nothing personalized so nothing can be traced. I'll get the Baby Yoda mask to look cute, you get teddy bear or something...or just mom's pantyhose and sunglasses. The moment you get in, color down the height markings with large line up and down. We split it at our meeting point and get lost our own ways, never to be seen again. I have no relatives, no gf, I am forever alone, so don't bother blackmailing me.
@@JackSilver1410 jokes on you he put slow acting poison in your drink a week before the heist
@@NeostormXLMAX pulled a sneaky on ya
@@NeostormXLMAX jokes on you he knew that you would do that so he switched the drinks so actually the other guy took it himself
The FBI agent monitoring this: *taking notes* sure
I like how most criminals they have on here explain how wrong the movies get things but meanwhile you got four guys in rabbi outfits robbing a jewelry store and this guy just goes “yup pretty realistic I actually knew a guy who did that”
lmfao
A
A
They're not rabbi outfits, they're dressed as Hasidim. Huge difference.
Liam Leonard I feel like he actually is paying attention to the actions of them and not little things like what they say or what they’re wearing. I actually like how he wasn’t like the other people on here who are like “yep this is wrong because they’re wearing gray instead of black and i would be wearing black”. He actually understands it’s just a movie and parts are exaggerated.
I think that in "Heat" you CAN see how heavy those bags are and that the robbers are actually struggling. Maybe the actors don't have to carry 70 pounds but not 10 either. I'd be surprised to find that Michael Mann hadn't thought of that aspect, that's a director who makes you repeat a scene if the sound of the clothes hangers is not to his liking.
When I started working in law enforcement we had numerous house burglaries in a short time span. Appeared to be same people doing them. After about 3-4 we realized there was always something major happening minutes before the burglaries. Misdirection is very effective. Unfortunately. Finally, we actually were able to catch the people causing the misdirection, and they in turn ended up telling us who was committing the burglaries.
I could watch this guy Narrate an entire Netflix documentary like this.
You've gotta admit, the guy catches your attention with his descriptions really well.
Everyone like this comment so we can get this going.
Yeeeeeessss
It’s such a shame... this guy sounds smart, interesting and could whatever job he got have success “ of course there probably some he couldn’t do but it’s more about his character “ and he did crime.. waste 12 years of his life in prison and being in a very dangerous business.. it’s just a shame.. oh well at least he has pay his duty and doing his best in what he do .. !
Should do it
Plot twist: This guy wanted to know the insides out of law enforcement to plan his biggest heist then dissapear forever.
xSerpent he’s planning to rob the internet
Ibrahim Syed it’s a joke dumbass
Isn't this a Payday2 heist? The joint is literally the FBI and its just like any other heist really?
steal the Moon
mango juice yas oh you silly gorl, you can’t just steellllll the moon, you’ve got to shrink it first
I just watched an interview where Larry said that Vanity Fair screwed him over and never paid him for this. He even filmed another video for them, but never signed the release for it because he was never paid for the first one.
I feel like this is more of a Master Class than a review on movie heists.
Narrator: "Former Jewel thief"
Mr. Lawton: "Robber, not a thief"
Video title: "Former Jewel Thief"
SEO I guess. No one is going to be searching for 'jewel robber'.
It's actually dishonest
Aight I think we know who Mr. Lawtons about to rob
His channel banner: Jewel Thief
Random Internet Weirdo thief is a generic term and applies to all takings. Robber implies a thief who steals using violence or threats of violence to commit the theft. It isn’t wrong to call him a thief it just isn’t precise.
He forgot to say
"I'm Larry Lawton, and this, is my Masterclass"
Pay in blood for this class
xD
And you're watching Disney Channel!
Raaif 😂😂😂
What Lawton pointed out about "Ocean's 11" was the big problem I had with the movie: There was WAY too many people involved. If you paid attention, most of the 11 came across as arrogant asshats who, if they didn't blab before the heist would afterwards eventually brag to everyone they knew about how cool it was and how cool they were. Additionally, there was a hundred things that could have gone wrong, any one of which would have blown up the whole thing.
I think in The Thomas Crown Affair he did it because it was satisfying to see if he could do it, and how well he could plan it, and carry it out. Testing your skills is great motivation. Feeling like you are smarter than everyone else, then wanting to prove it, seems like a possible reason.

I just came here for the comments, I won’t play through this video until larry gets paid.
he's a charismatic guy , if he asked if i wanted to rob a bank or if i was being robbed in a bank i'd feel at ease in both situations .
Lawton: *I am not endorsing crime*
Also Lawton: _gives us an equation on how many cops are in a given area at one time_
I wonder if that's out-dated since he works for the police now HMMMMM
You really think, police and FBI didn't know about this interview? I bet they even made the script for this video.
well yeah, but the cops also know that too and can react as appropriately as possible
He actually isn't endorsing crimes - as he says, criminals aren't always the brightest - drug dealers, etc. They're probably going to use a technique off a YT vid, and also the cop is making the YT vid...
It's like giving a key to a combination safe you own. The actual use of these techniques will get you got, not the other way round.
@Ricardo Santos The crime you are describing is a matter of personal morality. A crime is a crime regardless of whether it hurts someone or not.
Doesn't mean the law is always right, or that crimes are always bad.
This guy is my favorite so far, you can definitely catch that "yeah this isn't someone you wanna f*** with because he knows what he's doing" vibe sitting right beneath the surface. Imagine having a beer and listening to some of his stories lol.

It would be cool if this guy had his own channel because hes a lot better at telling stories than a lot of people
He does and has more subscribers than this channel.
Yeah he has this dope series that goes through his whole experience in 12 years in prison very well told
In the movie “Snatch” the reason that one guy had all the guns is so that ALL of them didn’t get beeped on the metal detector. If you watch the beginning, the security guard is scanning them all, and the last guy (with the guns) is scanned, he just looks at the security guard and is like “what do you want me to do, drop my pants?” He just let’s him through.
"You'd have a fence for VCRs"

He never robbed a bank... and you definitely aren’t understanding what he says. Lawton was a JEWEL thief. He had 4 12s caught for racketeering and he always references how COMPLICATED and the TIME it took him and his crews to plan and execute his robberies.

"... But it's WRONG"
Larry is the man, you couldn’t ask fir a more definitive perspective on this topic
What he just said- about taking the apple watches over the fine art- makes absolute perfect sense. It's something they teach you in economics- the teacher will often ask what something is worth, the students usually look at the intrinsic value of the thing in question- the labor involved in making it, etc.- but then the teacher reminds them that if they don't have a market for it, it's worth nothing. It's just an exercise to stress the importance of markets to students but- lines up perfectly with the thieves' mentality as well. What's it worth? Whatever the market will bear- and not one penny more.

This is by far the best expert review. Not only is he reviewing the movies but most of the video is a professional robbery class. 😂😂
His distinction between Robbery and Theft is correct. That applies here in Canada too: theft is just stealing something, robbery involves violence or a threat of violence in addition to that.

Psycho Maniac breaks down famous psychotic rampages
I like how he clarified “robber” not “thief” then the voice over immediately calls him a “thief”....
I write Checks at the grocery store. So? Again 😂
Holden Mcgroine No, he’s right. Not all burglary involves theft. Most of it does but not all. A thief is a person who takes things when no one is looking a robber takes things by force or with the threat of force.
He was implying that he had these people at gunpoint. That's robbing
Stealing and robbing are 2 different things.
the voice is pre recorded idiot
The way he says “walking” is just the most New York thing ive ever heard
"Not thief, I was a robber"
Kind of insulting they put thief in the title of the video.
I love how this guy is basically just like “yeah, I stole millions of dollars, want tips?”
he shrugs off pointing guns at peoples heads like a total subhuman
bredband två relax on the subhuman title. He clearly said that he avoided violence in all of his robberies. He obviously had no intentions of hurting anyone. It’s just common sense that if you want to rob something with people around, unless it’s an inside job, you’re going to need to scare people into doing what you say. No one’s going to take you seriously as a robber if you run in empty handed and just start yelling out demands.
@@Watermelon_Man He 100% ruined people's lives and mental health. BuTnOfOrCe lmao gtfo
@@Nils3OWN Doesn't mean he is a subhuman.
@@Xanthopathy he said he scarred people for life. probably put a gun in their mouth and said he'll kill their whole family. so yeah, subhuman.
He clearly says: he's not a thief, but robber, yet you guys wrote 'thief' in the description, it's a total disrespect to this guy.
@Crystal Dreams Who's talking about colour of the skin here?
@Crystal Dreams You got a poinr
Khawa Karpo and title too
Crystal Dreams Nobody brought up skin color. Why did you feel the need to rope *that* in here? Sheesh.
And we don't want to disrespect the criminal.
BTW for anyone interested
Larry has a TH-cam channel that INCREDIBLY interesting. Full of stories, recommend 10/10
yes i do!
@@LarryLawtonJewelThief Mr Lawton. Honor to say hi to you. Have a great day and love the channel, it has helped me quite a lot.
'I just went with a gun right to their face'
This is a man I want to listen to.
him: “i do not encourage criminal activity”
also him: “so if you want to know their response time, just throw a brick at a window. also, make sure you distract them!”
LMAOOOO HE’S LIKE THAT COOL UNCLE THAT HAS SO MANY STORIES TO TELL AND IS SUPPORTIVE ABOUT ALMOST ANYTHING
The false alarm tip was so good i'm using it in ranked matches cs go and valorant now auhsuahauahs
Distract them? Have someone go past there to sell donuts to the cops.
If you follow his channel you’ll know he does A LOT to prevent crime. He shares his stories to provide transparency... he’s not advocating crime... he’s just giving insight into realism...
@@factbeaglesarebest I agree strongly, but op's comment was a joke
This guy loves crime, just can’t do it anymore 😂
😂😂😂
Michael Till that’s what he works for the police....
Michael Till Or he still does and has a normal job so no one suspects it.
Michael Till hahaahahahahahahaha
@@deanwinchester3356 he never snitched on who his fence was because he IS a fence. This man is either a straight arrow kind of guy who's friends with the detective who caught him.
or hes still a career criminal and he helps bust anyone who he might see as competition or use his knowledge of who is in the business to make them scapegoats
“rob what you know” how can I rob existential dread?
This man is a genuine delight to listen to. I loved this video. Larry, bless you.
he must have incredible stories to tell at dinner parties or sometin
He has. Go check out his channel by the name Larry Lawton
Go to his youtube channel. His stories are insane. People call him Larry "Never Forget" Lawton.
I know! I was just thinking he’d be great to sit next to at a bar or something and just listen to his exploits.
@@paulkerrigan9857 He has a live stream right now
@@paulkerrigan9857 he would never forget you
him: steal jewels they don't weigh as much
also him: but u didn't hear it here
Here is another tip: Loose weight and you can run faster.
Common sense really
@@monkeyman1327 Yea, but there are upcoming robbers required some education, otherwise they can get caught real fast.
@@rif42 if you need to run faster, you already failed .
Thx it's kinda common sense think how much a phonebook weighs
I like how instructive it is. It gives more awareness so people can tune their "spidey-senses" better.
Awesome video! As far as Snatch, the guns were all on one guy because they did have to go through a metal detector. He was dressed as an older rabbi, so he was able to command enough respect not to get strip-searched. No way it would have worked if all four of them set off the detector.
