Why do people commit crimes eventhough they too know that one day cops will come to know and arrest them?

There are plenty of criminals who got away with their crimes. 🤔 My favorite is Thelma Wright. She sold millions in heroin, decided to get out of the game when she thought it was too dangerous any longer, waited for the statutes of limitations to be up and wrote a book about the whole experience.

So I’m assuming they don’t think they will be caught.
