Probably not:

1. Can they read? English? Well enough to understand a sentence that
doesn't
   use a double negative?
2. Even if they can, are they capable at the moment? (drugs, drink.
Both..)
3. Would they? You know, I can't see people stopping to read essays
mid-crime.
4. Sarcasm: surely they'd steal them away, just to make sure...?
5. OK. So they think they're stealing guns. Even if they now know
they're not,
   they're in the car now, aren't they going to steal the figs anyway? I
mean
   anything fragile enough to need a case is going to be worth
something...
6. Even if they're not... you're assuming sense. Friend of mine had his
car
   broken into. They ignore all the CB gear under the dash and they took
a
   *packet of cigarettes*. He grins and says "Irony is I finished that
pack
   yesterday..."
