I just do not understand how these kids think that they can get away with these type crimes???
Let's go back in time... When I was at the University in 1992 - 1996 there would be people walking around the University after Midnight, hence, witnesses to crimes...
Unless times have changed in 20 years I would think that people still "mill around" at the same hours, PLUS, now days there are probably 20 or more cameras on each university building for security reasons...
Therefore, I just do NOT UNDERSTAND how these young adults think that they are smarter than the system and are not going to get caught... They have the world by the "short and curly's" and to go an blow it on a couple hundred dollars is beyond me... Or maybe I just don't understand the way these kids think??? Is it street cred that they are after ????
I am not judging anyone because I am no better than my neighbor... I am just confused on how people think they can get away with these type crimes...

You would probably be better off just acknowledging that their thought process isn't like yours. I'm not saying that in a smart a#$ sort of way, I'm just stating a fact. I remember distinctly in 1999, I was lounging around in my barracks with some "buddies", and we were all broke as a joke. So we had the bright idea, hey let's rob a pizza man. The sad thing is, we were all dead serious. Now I came from a nice 2 parent home, in the country, shoot I didn't even have cable until I was a senior in high school. No product of a bad environment situation, no drugs, maybe some alcohol, but more or less just pure stupidity. Thankfully, we didn't rob a pizza guy. None of us probably even knew how. But if we had tried, my crew of 5 fresh out of bootcamp guys probably would have seriously hurt someone. We actually rode around looking for one, but I guess the pizza men in that section of D.C. know better than to be out past 9. Now after that, I went on to serve at the Pentagon/White house while obtaining several high level security clearances. I got out the military, started a family, obtained my MBA, and I am a Federal employee now. Now this isn't one those "hey guys let's hope for the best, and maybe they will turn out to be model citizens" type posts. All I'm saying is that, sometimes a person will decide to do something really dumb. There doesn't have to be a motive, a thought process, a will I get away with it thought, a concern about cameras or onlookers, or a rhyme/reason. Sometimes, it's just a really dumb thought, and the individual carries it out. And they will pay, and either continue to make dumb decisions, or allow the results of their actions to change them into productive citizens who actually think their way through dumb ideas.
