Which is stupider, British thieves or American police?

If British villains are stupid enough then the cardboard policemen might be a brilliant idea.

It says ' to confuse criminals, ' it's certainly got me confused.

Mind having watched the Police TV shows of real events, the stupidity of most criminals is mind boggling.

What would be stupid is getting close enough to find out it it was real.

A cardboard policeman was actually stolen a while back from the foyer of a shop in Norfolk!

I am reminded of the letter-to-advice from James Thurber, where they write in that they don't know what kind of dog they have, it only has two poses, one facing each direction, and James Thurber answers that it is probably a cast-iron lawn dog, and an acetylene torch would tell - "if the animal chips, or melts, my diagnosis is correct" (from the same collection as the Unicorn in the Garden, I think).
