Why can't we, for once, have a technology-using criminal know SOMETHING about technology. These idiots who obviously know nothing about wireless networks, or even basic investigation, even putting the idiocy of asking for the check in his name aside, we need some criminals with at least some knowledge of the technology they're using to aid them in the crime.
