Fine, more apropos- yeah, the guy was an idiot. I was going to pontificate on how one might actually pull this off, but there's always a problem: you're gonna make mistakes and eventually get caught.

Or, you won't and then no one will know how you did it.

If you don't mess up, nobody will know that you did it anything at all.

They don't seem to publish statistics on these things very often, but my gut tells me more people get away with crimes than don't.
