    If I was wearing my cynic hat, I'd comment that most con artists are
    remarkably good at finding the chinks in peoples armor - like the
    sentimental attraction of thinking that a person would only turn to
    crime because of a troubled family life, and that the "love of a good
    woman" would keep them on the straight and narrow.

    Sounds like you bought the line though.

    cheers!
