Tom's Plan for a Robber Gang: Pirates vs. Robbers

Let's compare Tom's description of pirates and robbers:

Pirates	Robbers
1) Pirates take ships.	1) Robbers steal things.
2) Pirates bury treasure.	2) Robbers hide in dark places.

Are there any robbers now? Are they different from Tom's description?

Yes, there are robbers today, but they are probably different from how Tom imagines them. Tom's idea of robbers might be based on stories and adventures. Real robbers today might use technology and plan their crimes differently.
