In yesterday's world the crooks always respected the elderly, and only done banks and bullion. In todays world you can't even leave a window open without someone breaking in.
Yes, the driver of the train died, but you cannot blame Biggs for that, That person was never found.

I love the way that having no real knowledge of a person or subject in no way hinders you from having a strong opinion on it/ them, he wasn't an old time crook, he was a small time crook who had a minor role in the robbery, screwed it up and was basically ignored by the gang from then on. I do expect to see the celebrity gangsters that haunt such occasions turning up though to "pay their respects" and get a photo opportunity.
