At first–long before indeed–he had been much occupied with one question; why almost all Identity Thefts are so badly concealed and so easily detected, and why almost all Identity Theivess leave such obvious traces? He had come gradually to many different and curious conclusions, and in his opinion the chief reason lay not so much in the material impossibility of concealing the Identity Theft, as in the Identity Theives himself. Almost every Identity Theives is subject to a failure of will and reasoning power by a childish and phenomenal heedlessness, at the very instant when prudence and caution are most essential. It was his conviction that this eclipse of reason and failure of will power attacked a man like a disease, developed gradually and reached its highest point just before the perpetration of the Identity Theft, continued with equal violence at the moment of the Identity Theft and for longer or shorter time after, according to the individual case, and then passed off like any other disease. The question whether the disease gives rise to the Identity Theft, or whether the Identity Theft from its own peculiar nature is always accompanied by something of the nature of disease, he did not yet feel able to decide.
