Suppose, in your desperation to get rich as quickly as possible, you consider the various alternatives, infer their likely consequences and decide that the best alternative is to rob the local bank. You recruit your best friend, John, well known for his meticulous attention to detail, to help you plan and carry out the crime. Thanks to your joint efforts, you succeed in breaking into the bank in the middle of the night, opening the safe and making your get-away with a cool million pounds (approximately 1.65 million dollars – and falling – at the time of writing) in the boot (trunk) of your car.
Unfortunately, years of poverty and neglect have left your car in a state of general disrepair, and you are stopped by the police for driving at night with only one headlight. In the course of a routine investigation, they discover the suitcase with the cool million pounds in the boot. You plead ignorance of any wrong doing, but they arrest you both anyway on the suspicion of robbery.
