Re: Insurance value 5k max
after all, if they were smarter they might not have to turn to crime...
Yup. On the whole criminals are thick as fuck. Fingerprints have been used in court for 100+ years and they still don't glove up. DNA & RNA combined can uniquely identify only you, and yet so many burglars take a dump or piss on the bed of their victims. So it goes....
This Hollywood idea of a criminal mastermind is near universally made up. Occasionally you do find a relatively clever criminal, the late great Howard Marks springs to mind, but they're still not smart enough to understand the essence of their bet: That they are now and will always be, smarter or luckier than everyone in every law enforcement agency that might take an interest in them. It's not a smart bet; even if you're in the top 0.01% of the country, there's still 700,000 people as smart or smarter than you (IQ terms to keep the argument simple), and in terms of resources they are way over-matched. You have no way of knowing how many have joined law enforcement.
