Not As Heartless As You Think

There’s no denying that the pair of lovers were criminals. The title comes with their long list of transgressions. They weren’t however completely rotten at the core. Clyde, for example, avoided killing anyone as much as it was possible to do so. His modus operandi was usually to kidnap people and then pay for their silence. There are some reports that suggest that when it came to releasing the captives, Clyde would even go as far as to giving them money so they could find their way back to safety.

A Partner In Crime

W.D Jones was not only one of their gang members. He became Bonnie and Clyde’s “partner in crime” so to speak, joining them in stealing food and cash where possible. Usually, they would enjoy and share their findings in their stolen car of choice. The trio stole cars and switched their license plates right away to avoid alerting authorities. If they had some spare cash laying about, they would rent a room, but privacy was usually reserved for their biggest heists, which yielded the biggest earnings.
