I remember a conversation that I had several years ago with a police inspector. He maintained that for the most part, criminals were dumb. These guys are good examples.

We had a little gang of high school kids running a drug cartel. They even had bought a house. When they got busted one kid said, him and his girlfriend got in an argument about it and he threw $5,000 out the car window in anger. It sure would be interesting to know how they all turned out.

Here in little Mountain View, AR, we are living proof. There was a fellow burglarizing a hardware store. An employee came in early and surprised him, and the burglar ran out the back door and into the woods.

The police and sheriff's department combed the woods. There is a pond there, and they saw something odd in the pond. It was the burglar hiding, with just his nose above water.

Did I mention this happened in February?
