Notice how the mother was protective. A mother in a previous generation would tell them to not let the door hit 'em where the Lord spit 'em. Even then, fools have been doing this for as long as we've had cars.

I was reading an article about Chicago mobster Sam Battaglia and how some Oak Park police detectives spied on a meeting, then followed him as he left. Battaglia and his driver led them on a 100 mph chase until the police caught up with them. Then Battaglia ran out of the car and took a couple swings at the detective sergeant and missed. Then the sergeant beat the crap out of him until he shouted, "Please stop! You'll kill me!" His driver ran down the alley and yelled burglars, so a neighbor called the Chicago police, who arrested them all -- including the Oak Park detectives. Because the Chicago police were owned by the Outfit (or at least some of them), they were released. This was in the late 1950s or early 60s. As long as criminals think they can get away with it, they'll keep on doing it.
