zinaphile:
What do you all think of cluing HOLDUPS as [Bandits' fortes]? Unacceptable? Weak? Reasonable? Solid?

I can't rely on an editor for this as changing it would break other puzzle elements.

mmcbs:
Seems OK to me.

zinaphile:
Cool. One more question: how does [Bandits' deeds] compare with [Bandits' fortes] for HOLDUPS? Better? Worse? Similar?

cmcetta:
You could always use something like "Traffic jams" if you are worried about the context.

cranberry44:
A thought on this, for what it's worth: "bandit" has the connotation of someone breaking and entering, whereas "robber" has the connotation of someone doing a one-on-one grab (holdup). Maybe change to "robbers' fortes"?
