Kidnapping for ransom was apparently a big deal in the 1920’s and 1930’s. Even later Frank Sinatra went through it.
I can’t wrap my head around it. If you have to tell them where to drop the money, you either get ambushed there. Or just abandon the money altogether?
Am I missing something? I can’t see how this got popular with criminals.

Kidnappers may not be the brightest criminals. But:
“If my buddy isn’t back here by 2 o’clock with the money, we’ll kill your kid.”
“If the police follow my buddy back here, we’ll kill your kid.”
“If there are any trackers in the bag, or marked/sequential bills, we’ll kill your kid.”
etc.
