Mostly these interspersed 75 00:04:41,759 --> 00:04:43,680 with enough men from the police department so that I 76 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:53,600 could leave.

An interesting scheme by the two thieves 584 00:31:12,279 --> 00:31:14,880 who got killed. It's a bit risky if you're a 585 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:21,200 local and going to remain locatable and the person who 586 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:25,039 you're victimizing knows who you are. And that's even if 587 00:31:25,079 --> 00:31:30,400 the killer is not homicidally inclined.
