If you had to rob a bank, how would you do it?

I'm curious to see how some of you would go about doing this, its all fake of course. Its fun to think about, just the same.
Here's how I would do it. [edit] theres no rules, you can be as creative as you want and use whatever (real) equipment you want.
I always thought that the best way to rob a bank would be to do it at night, and cut the power 8 city blocks in which the bank was located. I think the best way to do this would probably be to have a man inside the power plant surge the power, and make it look like an accident. If you cut the power to just the bank, they have silent alarms that alert the police, and its completely obvious. As soon as the power went out we would detonate previously placed low-grade explosives outside of a separate bank, across town to draw attention, my team (there would be 3 of us[excluding the man in the power plant]) and I would put gas masks on, and one guy would enter through the roof and would place a small battery powered air pump and noxious gasses in the ventilation system which would incapacitate everyone for a limited amount of time. Long enough for us to get in an get out though, the gas would probably be Halo-thane, which is orderless, tasteless and invisible.
It wouldn't take long to take effect, and we could enter through the front door, carrying power tools and all with no resistance at all and make a b-line straight for the vault and computer systems. I should backtrack, one of my team members would be an engineer/explosives expert, one would be a computer hacker, myself and we would have to get an insider that worked at the power plant. We would all be equipped with stun guns and batons dressed as police, just to cause further confusion.
That being said, the hacker would wreak havoc on the computer systems, getting bank codes personal pin numbers, while the engineer and I would crack (or explode if necessary) the vault and would make our escape in a black Honda civic in case there was any witnesses, good luck tracking a black Honda civic. We would then ditch or burn the civic, though I feel the best choice would be to sell it to a Russian chop shop.
PS: We would also be equipped with silenced Glock 17's with extended mags for self defense, if all went well we wouldn't have to use any weapons at all, but in the event we entered the bank and met resistance, ideally we would use the stun guns or batons - because people don't look kindly on murderers. Neither do police, besides guns are messy and ballistics could be traced fairly easily.
