What made many of these people heroes is that they would often steal the mortgage paper and then take them out and burn them.

Many, Dillinger especially, understood the value of having good press. They never stole money close to home. That way the locals could be counted on to look the other way. Alvin "Creepy" Karpis as well as Bonnie and Clyde were sociopaths. They killed people just for the fun of it.
