RE: Life imitates art

 The question that I would ask is how many of those families and/or bank managers are killed anyway after they turn 
over the bank's vault contents and how many of them are actually set free alive and fairly unharmed?

I'm not convinced that this is strictly life imitating art, at least
not first. There were several bank robberies where the bank
manager/owner/president was taken hostage in his house until the bank
opened in the morning. These took place several years back - and there
might have been more than "spree" and/or group of villains utilizing
this technique.

Pretty successful technique too - though I'm sure Ford gets back at
them in the movie...
