I had no clue, I thought killers. Probably because I watch horror films and police procedural shows all the time.

My first thought was murderers, but there are too many women (it's been my experience that women understand that if they kill you, they can't make you suffer year after year).

If I had to answer, it would have been passing counterfeit currency.

Stealing food?

Yeah, I've seen these guys perform in out town parade every year. They're funny in their little go carts and wheelie popping cars. Oh wait, that's the Shriners. These guys are the 'shiners. Never mind.

My first guess was jaywalking.
