Oh yeah? Think the cops are that good, huh?! Let me tell you a story....

I live up in the Santa Cruz mountains, between San Jose and Santa Cruz, California. (Not quite as remote as NH, but definitely not a city or even suburbia.)

Now, there is this one deputy sheriff, (a female deputy I will point out and from now on I will refer to as Deputy Fife), who actually caught a murderer.
(Caught is a generous term, as she merely saw this guy walking down one of the side roads up near my house. And no, the guy was not exactly as smart as Walt - he more like Skinny Pete, Jesse's friend.)
Coincidentally the road looked a lot like the road that Walt's hideaway was on actually.)

Anyway, Deputy Fife had her gun drawn and was going to put the handcuffs on this guy. But then this guy saw the determined look in her eyes, much like the look her cousin Barney Fife had, he just smiled, turned around and ran away. She, in Fife like fashion, yelled "Stop!". Being a criminal, he did not comply.

Amazing, huh?! What a criminal mastermind, he was for not stopping! Anyway, she stood there for a bit, wondering what to do, when she finally decided that maybe, perhaps, she should call this in, so that someone, (Sheriff Andy perhaps?), could come out and find him, you know, what with him being a murderer in all.

So, when the real police came, they sealed all the roads in the area, for the next several hours, (preventing us from getting home until after dark). They had not caught him, but they eventually had to let the dozens of us homeowners in the area go home. Needless to say, I was not thrilled going into a house in the dark, although once I was in, you can bet your butt I went straight to the gun locker, got and loaded my handgun, and then searched my house. Thankfully, no murderer!

Anyway, the next day, the real police finally caught this guy. (How did he get away you ask?! Well, he was a criminal mastermind, so he climbed a tree. He stayed up in the tree all night.) Eventually he got cold enough, thirsty enough or hungry enough to climb down, THE NEXT DAY, and they finally caught walking down the road again.
(Again, not too smart! Had he come done at midnight and started walking he would easily have made it to the nearest town, a few miles away, and he'd haven gotten away.)

So, don't bother to tell me the police are that efficient. If it weren't that they were tracking a complete idiot, they never would have caught him. (And if Barney Fife had been the one to find him the next day, I'm sure he would have merely relieved her of her sidearm, and taken her vehicle.)
