One was brilliant, I'm almost through two, which may even be better, IMO.
I've seen bits and pieces of three and four while my wife was watching them during the recent marathon. Liked what I saw.

The UK hands out cautions, and the US hands out jail time and hot lead. Lots of theft in the US is done by getting the credit card numbers and having the stuff delivered to where they can get it so they don't need to nick it from the neighbors porch but they do that as well on occassion. UK may be tighter with their cards with the fancy credit card pin numbers.
Someone did hit the UPS delivery from my brothers doorstep last Christmas. The idiot dropped his house keys and marijuana when he ran off with the packages. Nothing especially expensive in the haul. Amazon replaced what was lost.

Is there a reason school buses and some trucks stop at railway crossings when there isn't a train? I have a hard time understanding why that's a safety precaution, I mean, sure, stop when there's a train coming (there never is) but stopping for the sake of it seems excessive and unnecessary.

Sometimes the signals do fail, so it seems logical to try and ensure schools buses and other vehicles with passenger, hazardous materials or the like stop to ensure no train is coming.

That's all very well, but school buses in particular down this way stop right at the railway lines, way beyond where the barriers would come down. So if there was a train hurtling around the corner, there's no way that school bus is going to accelerate quickly enough to escape.
This may be just the kind of stupid that Florida breeds though, elsewhere they may stop at a safe place.
