Alas, I have to be more disciplined with folks underfoot. Thanks for the visit! :D

You’re right about identity theft – far-reaching and scarier than the old-fashioned kind. ;) Thanks for stopping by!

So glad to have you back and hope getting back into a routine isn’t too rough. I think that even though the means of crime from back and the day were different, the intent always remains the same. LOL! Funny to think about their techniques now though…LOL!!

I imagine the biggest difference in criminals of today involves technology. Identity theft is kinda sorta like counterfeiting and stealing money, only a much bigger violation. I bet criminals get caught more easily, too, so smarter robbers must be more successful. Not that I know, or anything. ;)

Great to have you here – thanks for your comment ;)

I love the movie "Young Guns" about Billy and used to read the encyclopedia about him in grade school. lol. This was really cool to see. Thanks for sharing!

Before my research, I didn't know that the Secret Service wasn't responsible for protecting the President until the 20th century. It sure is a different world now!

Great to have you stop by!

I had no idea the secret service was created to fight counterfeiters. Thanks for the interesting look back on criminals.
