I've heard LEOs say "we don't catch the smart ones".

We catch them all. But stupid ones give us great stories. This happened Thursday. Looking for a guy with a state probation violation warrant. We go to his girlfriend's house, who also is on state probation. We are talking to her and she is adamant she hasn't seen him and that he is not there. Her phone that is lying on the table then gets a text message from him, "dont let them in the basement". They both went to jail.

I was in a bank robbery.  Guy came in early before the rent-a-cop.  Pulled his gun, got his cars and got away before the cops were even close.  I myself blew it, I had a nice camera on the phone I could have used to get a shot of this guy and didn't.  That said, I keep the bank manager and a couple other customers calm.  After the guy left I complimented the teller who gave him the cash.  Guy felt pretty bad giving all that money to the robber; I told him the money was insured, they could print more.  They couldn't print another him.  That fact that the robber left and no one was hurt was a huge win, that was a very dangerous situation.

They never caught the guy.  He was long gone by the time the cops showed up.

I certainly hope you are around if I ever resort to armed robbery.
