The bane of every criminal. You only have to make one mistake to get caught and there are many chances to make that mistake.
Many criminals on the run assume they’re smart, but luck plays a big role in getting caught or not…I mean, this guy got caught because of an unrelated case of domestic violence.
An acquaintance of mine tried to dodge his mandatory military service by moving to the neighboring country and would (foolishly) drive to his family across the border every now and then thinking that because Schengen has no borders he would never get caught.
And it worked for a couple of years, until one day when a police car stopped him for a busted tail light and handed him over to the military police.
If you're gonna break the law, you at least gotta be smart and careful about it.
Hence the always-true adage: If you're gonna break the law, only break one law at a time, not multiple.
