Stupidity accounts for most of the variance



I believe it was Batman who said that "criminals are a superstitious and cowardly lot." (He may have been quoting a criminologist. I'll have to go reread my "Batman: Year One" comics to be sure. )

Man Leaves Photo at Robbery Scene

SILVER SPRING, Md. (AP) - Police in Silver Spring, Maryland, can thank a forgetful robber for some good evidence: his picture. Officers say the bandit robbed a camera store after asking for a passport picture. When the clerk opened the register, the suspect drew a gun and demanded money. While he got away with some cash and the photo, police say he forgot about the negative. Detectives have made new prints and are distributing the photo to the media.
