That’s not just a movie trope, a dude did it in real life to pull a heist on a bank truck. He put an ad on Craigslist to show up at a bank wearing certain clothes for some day labor, disguised himself as one of those dudes in the same outfit, and robbed an armored car. He was later known as D.B. Tuber (because he escaped floating down a river on an inflatable tube).

Came to mention this guy.

The ONLY reason he got caught was because he did a couple of test runs and stashed an outfit behind a garbage can which caught the attention of a homeless person thinking it was suspicious.
