There are a lot of stories about the Outlaws of America doing things like stopping for dinner and buying food/utilities. The Dalton and James gangs (distant cousins of mine) were something of American Robin Hoods. The idea that you lose you humanity when becoming a criminal is a more outlandish idea.
Bonnie and Clyde were, by all accounts, but the law enforcement and banks, generally polite and courteous.
Capone would have been a Don in his neighborhood, in Italy a Don is similar to Patron in Mexico and would have been the 'patriarch' of the area he lived in, making the people there his responsibility.
It's interesting to me that these ideas and ideals have died in the last 80 years.
