More helpful hints for the criminal set
If you know your babymomma's gone to police to complain about how you were threatening to "start popping people off," and you decide to go to the police station yourself to complain about how she's violated a restraining order by talking to you, you'll want to leave your gun at home, especially if you've loaded it with nine bullets.
If you're going to try passing a forged check, you should start with an amount somewhat lower than $85,950 - even if it is a downtown bank more used to such large amounts.
And if you've just tried to disassemble a Jeep that isn't yours and then try hiding in a liquor store, you don't want to exclaim "How the $@/! did you get here so fast?" when the cops enter the store.

What exactly constitutes...
a Possession of Burglarious Tools charge?
and how do the police know...
that the tools were imported from Burglaria, rather than Lower Slobbovia or Unsteadystan?
I like the first item in today's report
Because I love that "uttering" is a crime (although if "muttering" were a crime, I'd be in trouble).
My second favorite crime
First is, and will always remain, "defrauding the innkeeper".
Third is probably anything about possessing an Infernal Device, which sounds like it should be a D&D magic item.
from the peanut gallery
(since not everyone knows this- I'm guessing you do)
Forgery is the act of MAKING a false document. Uttering is, on a basic level, the act of presenting it.
Like showing up at the bank claiming three different stories for why you have a $90k check :-P
um...
...you have things on you that could be used for committing burglary?
For example, lockpicking tools. It varies state to state, but in some states, mere possession is illegal (which no doubt keeps the locksmith industry happy.) In others, you can buy, carry and use 'em all you like (say, picking a lock for a friend who locked themselves out of their house), but if you use 'em in a crime, you bump yourself way up on the criminal penalty list.
It's pretty funny that in some states, kicking in the door will get you less time than carefully picking the lock and not damaging it.
Worse still, insurers, police, and lock companies have been very slow to do anything about the white elephant in the room: "bumping." It doesn't damage/mark the lock in any way. Result? No sign of forced entry, so "you must have left the door unlocked", and your homeowner's/renter's insurance doesn't pay out.
What's required for this advanced technique? A key blank cut a certain way, and something to rap the key with as you try to turn it in the lock. A complete idiot can do it, and even the most expensive locks homeowners can buy are mostly useless against it.
