Criminals Would Have To Be Desperate Or New, Says One Secondhand Source With Common Sense

 

"Black Magic" by Herr D on heromachine.com. He wrote "Few criminals would rob a bank in broad daylight showing off to witnesses--VERY few would do so without help. Only ONE would ever make the money shape itself into crude replicas of the 'Valleydale Parade' and have them follow her with appropriate theme music diagonally down the building around the watching crowds.".--Shelob

 Shelob? What can you find me about people booby-trapping their homes so that burglars get injured?

[.0000000000007 seconds pass] Illegal if lethal in most American jurisdictions, especially if 911 service is available. Practice dates back to prehistory, apparently. Expert found.

[double take] That's not what I meant. What expert?!

Kevin, alias Mr. Culkin

[laughter] You're declaring the star of "Home Alone" an expert?

He was obviously successful.

I meant in real life.

[.0000000000024 seconds pass] There are over 7 million references to such activity online. Schedule viewing?

No. [probable head shake] A friend told me there's this guy, an "ex"-burglar who declared in an amateur video that no one with any sense is doing home invasion right now because people are too insane. Anything like that?

Most people agree that people are less sane now. Quantities of first responders quitting or retiring early uncertain, declared under-reported by professional associations at this time. Probability of individual criminal making such a declaration dependent upon his levels of intelligence and forthrightness. 

[.0000000094116 seconds pass] Scan of online videos inconclusive, as 30,613 videos are unavailable at this time, perhaps removed.

That might be why we can't find it. Thanks. [exits]
