You are assuming rationality from a class of people that rarely exhibit the same. Don't you ever watch that dumbest criminal show on TV? This is a mild case compared to some of the inbred stunts reported there.

One of these brainiacs in our town burglarized the home of a cop and stole checks. He could have tried to pass them anywhere and probably gotten away with it, but no, instead he decided to go to the convenient branch bank in the neighborhood where the cop was known personally. When the bank called the cops, guess *which* cop caught the call? That was poetic justice.
