I am a fan of the Travis McGee novels by John D. MacDonald. Introduced to them in childhood and still worth a re-read.
Travis was a 'salvage consultant' who would rob loot back from criminals, and then retire for as long as the money lasted.
What's funny is I just typed a comment trying to analyze what types of jobs would allow for this, and one category was the "discrete projects that have a defined beginning and end" type jobs, and it did cross my mind that movie-style heists tend to have this kind of arrangement.
