Circa 1983 (my senior year of HS in the far-back NC mountains) a
couple of "Deliverance" - type individuals decided to steal some
gas out of a school bus under the cover of darkness.  They used
a match to check and see how full their gas can was.

"Natural Selection" is a phrase that comes to mind.  It's the
nature's way of keeping the median IQ at a reasonable level.
