>     Does this mean that the bad guys are stupid 

    Here's a story a policeman once related to me (when we had a
    policeman actually walking a beat in our neighborhood). A Cambridge
    bank was held up. As soon as this officer and his partner heard about
    it they went and parked on the border of Cambridge, near a bridge
    leading to Charlestown (which at the time was where all of our local
    bank robbers came from). They see a car drive by with cardboard,
    handwritten license plates on it and a couple of seedy looking guys
    so they pull it over. They run the numbers on the handwritten plates
    and sure enough it comes up as a stolen car. They pull the guys out
    of the car and sure enough it's the bank robbers. So they ask why,
    when they wrote the plate number on the cardboard, they used the
    same numbers of the real plate that had been on the car. The answer?
    Because they couldn't think of any numbers to use!!!

    Unfortunately not all criminals are quite so stupid, so you should
    be keeping your eyes open, and make sure that greed doesn't get the
    best of you in this holiday season. If it sounds too good to be true
    it probably is.
