Missing Out On The Loot
If you look at their careers as outlaws, some might argue that Bonnie and Clyde died somewhat in vain. In the four years that they were on a crime spree, the fifteen banks they robbed often yielded minimal returns. Once, they stole less than $100 following a heist.
While always optimistic about their prospects for wealth and riches, their families never benefited all too much from their takeaways. What eventually happened was execution-style murders following what was a relatively tame crime spree amplified by the media as a whole.

Trade of Choice
Petty theft was the name of the game for the dynamic duo, and their small robberies at grocery stores and gas stations will live on in infamy. Many analysts argue that they did this purely for survival, which is a reflection on society at the time, rather than their ambitions to be millionaires. A life on the run was all they could do to ensure that their trade of choice did not land them in a jail sail more often than they hoped it would.
More complicated robberies, like those involving banks, are often harder to trace for law enforcement. Had Bonnie and Clyde been more professional, they may well have been resided to a different fate than what actually happened. All their choices and efforts served to further upset enforcement officials, leaving them killed and with very little show for their time on the run.
