I've run across a few very intelligent ones, but on a very obvious level they are all running on one cylinder. Recently I had someone try to mug me in front of the Downtown Traffic court. The one with the County Sheriff's office right across the street. The one with police going in and out on a constant rotation. He was trying to get enough money to pay a parking ticket.
Or the kids who broke into my car, in my driveway, where I often leave it unlocked because I use it very often. They took a few coins, including a counterfeit Sakajawia dollar I got from someone (A useless coin and very likely to get you arrested if you try spending it) a hand-cranked flashlight and the device which hooks my iPod to the radio. They left all of my CDs, my daughter's purse and much else of real value.
Or the idiot who tried to break into my house back *ahem* years ago when my room-mate had a pet wolf. He tried to sue us but had apparently forgotten that he had also robbed the judge's house.
Or the kid who thought that I looked like a challenge, so he pulled a knife on me. I was. I left him broken & took the knife.
