i’ve heard it said, “if criminals were any smarter they wouldn’t be criminals” - but of course its a selection bias because smart criminals don’t get caught, you only hear about the dumb ones
If you work with police, you'll hear no end of dumb criminal stories. My favorite was the guy who coated his fingers with glue so he wouldn't leave fingerprints at the scene - then peeled off the glue and dropped the peelings in the trash on his way out. Leaving perfect fingerprints.
