You have to hand it to young Kevin: he sure managed to set up some pretty perfect traps to foil the Wet Bandits. Again though, to be a little cynical, you have to ask some questions here. Putting some oil on some stairs? Fair enough. Placing some Micro Machines for someone to slip on? Okay. Carefully placing some tins of paint on some rope? Even that is just about believable.
