So Frank and Joe are our heroes. That's obvious. However, they are not perfect. I'm pretty sure they have broken a few laws throughout the years and in the different series. Do you have some examples of this? Please try to include the book the crime took place.

Thanks!

Nice thread. I'm planning on (re-)reading the original versions of the first 38 Hardy Boys books, which is probably the least-perfect portrayal of the boys, since they have no respect for the local police, and often carry guns, and, with Chet's help, even disturb the peace in their spare time.

I'll post the boys' crimes as they come across them.

I can think of a few of the top of my head...breaking and entering, trespassing, and, of course, speeding (but who hasn't committed this "crime"?).

LOL Yeah Joe definitely has a lead foot. It's funny how those crimes are okay to them because they are minor. What else have they done maybe undercover as well? Hmm....

In the Tower Treasure (1927) the boys, along with Tony Prito, Biff Hooper and Chet Morton create a false alarm call that delays Collig and Smuff from going to interview Jackley by placing a clock under a fruit stand that is ticking and saying that it is a bomb.

Yeah, they aren't exactly role models in the early books.

Thanks for the example! I am not familiar with the earlier series so that is helpful. They are not perfect...that's for sure.

I know that all you need is love, but I believe an Xbox Kinnect is pretty essential too, am I right?

Con is a cop but also a friend of theirs. I would still consider that something they would get in trouble for though...
