The perp totally got away with it and was never brought to justice for over 50 years. On the other hand, he didn't hurt anyone and the loss would have been covered by insurance. However, he did leave behind a wake of frustrated police officers and investigators who could have been doing better things with their time. This was not a victimless crime.
Modern technology like CCTV and the massive spread of advanced computers etc would prevent this crime in the manner that it was committed back in the 1960s.
Given the high level of crime all over the world, I'll bet this story is more typical than you'd think and unfortunately people do get hurt and killed all the time because of it.

Thomas Randele was dying of lung cancer and had a secret.
In March of 2021, with his daughter at his bedside in suburban Boston after his first chemotherapy session, he made a stunning confession: He was a fugitive, and had been one for more than five decades. More than 50 years earlier, when he was 20 years old, he’d robbed an Ohio bank of $215,000. And his real name was not Thomas Randele but Theodore Conrad.
