In my experience, most criminals are stupid. Really stupid.
The clever ones work for banks.
Or go into law.
Or politics....

Lest you think the story you posted is unique, let me tell you a real
life story of criminal masterminds at work:
A fellow heard of a trailer load of silver bullion that would be
delivered and stored in a yard somewhere in an industrial park in
Greater Toronto. Just drive a truck into that yard, hitch up to the
trailer and drive out a rich man. Value on the black market: a cool
half-million.
But they needed help and each new guy would get an equal share of this
limitless loot. They paid off a security guard, a guy to drive the
semi-tractor, a guy to steal the tractor, someone to paint the stolen
vehicle, which as it turned out needed considerable repairs (and
another miscreant who required a share). By the end there were a dozen
involved. And the shipment was delayed - by over a year. In the
meanwhile the bottom dropped out of the silver market and the best
their truckload would fetch on the black market was $65,000. For a
year's work. Split 12 ways.
They'd have made more working part time at a fast food joint.
Even better: the cops were on to them early and just sat back, rubbing
their hands with glee as the ring got larger and larger. They were all
arrested and pleaded out to about a year of pre-trial time served.
Cheers,
frank
