Journal Kainaw's Journal: The Cost of Hollywood-Style Crime

I had an idea for a website. Surely, someone else has thought of this and already done it. The idea is to compare the cost of the crimes depicted in Hollywood movies to the amount they intended to make off the crime.

For example, consider the first Die Hard movie. I have a vague memory of it, but I remember that they had tons of guns, enough explosives to cover a whole building, highly advanced drills and computers, and a large, highly skilled, and expensive crew. They were trying to steal some bonds or something. If they had got away with it, would they have made any net profit?

It just seems that the criminals always have millions of dollars worth of equipment - to the point that some even have satellites. They can afford to purchase a satellite and put it in orbit so they can steal [insert something worth far less than a satellite here]. It just makes no sense.

Oh well, I searched the web, but I haven't found such a site yet.
