After his death, the gang's and Bonnot's notoriety was immortalized in French history forever. His expertise in [[Motor vehicle theft|automobile theft]] and the usage of these vehicles to facilitate an escape from a crime were a precedent for future crimes.<ref name=":0" /> The remaining members of the gang was tried for their crimes and many of them were executed as a result of their actions. In the days after Bonnot's death, many anarchists in Paris attempted their own robberies on bourgeois vehicles and proclaimed their Illegalist views in support of the gang. These acts of crime were met with a swift response from the Paris police in order to discourage any more criminals from recreating the gang's crime spree. Any proletariat that stated their support for Bonnot were jailed instantly to discourage any rebellion against the upper class. Bonnot was either seen as a martyr for the fight against the bourgeois or a tyrant that was a threat to the stability of society. The French bourgeois made many efforts to shun any attempt to tear down the upper class.<ref name=":1" />
