Thutty years ago we only had the comedy criminals out on the end. The murders were rare but noteworthy, witness Tony Chop-chop and the LAdy of the Dunes.
The guy who robbed the P-Town PO and locked himself in until morning. "What are you doing here?" , "Looking for my umployment check, it's late" He'd opened everything there.
And robbed the bank "Gimme all yer money or I'll blow your head %$%$%$%$ Of course no gun. " Ok, but you realize that you'll go to jail for this so you probably should open an account for your kids" "ok" and shoves the money back to the teller.
The Boatload of pot moored at McMillin Wharf that was mysteriously emply the next morning, Nobody saw nothing. But tons of pot was gone. They vacuumed 20 pounds of pot DUST outa that boat.
The pot smuggler that ran aground in Blackfish Creek and threw his cargo overboard. The next morning he was high and dry at low tide surrounded by his cargo.
This was the 70's and it was a riot. Now it's not so friggin funny, people are getting hurt.
