“You don’t see or hear of any such capers in real life.”

I do not agree with John's statement. There are plenty of "capers" in real life, although they may not always be identical to what we see in movies and television. People have pulled off some daring and creative heists, pranks, and scams, most of which have remained under the radar and are not widely known. Even everyday life often contains moments of sheer audacity, whether it's a savvy individual who successfully takes advantage of a loophole in the system or an ambitious person who takes a risk to pursue an unlikely dream. The reality of human ingenuity often exceeds what we see dramatized and portrayed in movies, so there are plenty of "capers" to be found in real life.
