Remember when sneakers came out with those twinkly lights in the soles, and before they went to the market they belonged in — toddlers and pre-schoolers — for a while actual adults wore them? OK. Some years ago, in Fort Wayne, police were chasing an armed robber who was wearing those things. He tried to foil his pursuers by jumping out of his car and making his escape cross-country through a recently harvested farm field. After all, it was dark! He could just slip into the inky rural night and be gone!

Oops.
