I can't help but wonder how many criminals you've met. I've "met", well observed those who robbed stores I used to own on about a monthly basis. One smashed the glass door of a cigarette display with his arm. The loss of blood was so great he had to get his grandma to run him to the local hospital, where the police picked him up. Another threw a brick at the shatter proof glass door, the rebounding brick knocked him out. A third stole lottery tickets, all numbered, which he redeemed a suburb away which set off alarms. The police picked him up at the store. Then there are the numerous thefts of CD's, condom's and other small items - in a store with 32 cameras. These activities are very high risk, very low reward. Almost all repeat offenders are caught. In fact of the hundreds of robbers that passed through our doors, only one wasn't convicted. The penalties when caught are large. In my experience, planning and doing something that would make life easier this time tomorrow isn't something they do, or they wouldn't be robbing a store today. If they are a king pin importing drugs the time span might expand to a year or two, but nonetheless the calculation they will be in jail after that and have lost all their gains plus some hasn't been made, or perhaps just not appreciated. These people aren't the sort of people who spend €2100 worrying about tomorrow. It's possible the people who do spend that sort of money aren't any nicer, but they are smart enough not to be criminals.
