Yes, that happens all the time. Right?

Since we're talking about fantasy, I'll play along:
We should totally outlaw cars. Because let's say I'm driving one. And let's say I'm behind on both my mortgage payments AND my car payment. And I drive by a bank at the beginning of the month when banks carry more cash to give out to all those darn welfare recipients who don't deserve it. We all know those people don't wake up very early, and I'm driving by right as the bank opens. So I'm thinking, "Wow, those welfare recipients don't deserve all the cash that's in that bank right now, and they aren't awake yet to get it, so I probably won't hurt anyone when I ram through this window, and if I go fast enough I can wind up in the vault and get all that money!" Of course, doing that won't actually solve anything. You can make up the way I get away in your mind.
