My job,
When you are trying to pin an arson or theft fraud on someone there is sometimes $250-$750k at issue. Ever hear of the Sullivan murder in Atlanta? Mrs Sullivan was killed by a hit man disguised as a floral delivery man. He shot her point blank. A divorce was underway and Mr Sullivan was a millionaire. Following the murder over $500k of valuables disappeared.
Sullivan eventually fled to Thailand and was located and returned only last year. Google Sullivan, Atlanta, GA and you will get bunches of hits. I worked on that case along with a close friend, now dead of cancer.
Also on cheap cases, they are usually in the 'hood. I was dead ended one day and trying to turn around when 4 brothers surrounded my vehicle.
One shouted "how do you plan to get outta here, white bread?"
Answer: With the 13 rounds in this Glock as I display my pistol. They always scatter.
In my 39 year career I have caused three men to go to federal prision, over a dozen to GA state pens. Currently there is still one in jail, another died there. I have had countless death threats.
