The trio seems to know the worst times to pull jobs, usually right under the patrolling noses of some of Astro City's most famous super-heroes. In consecutive months in 1995, they were given a good confetti blast by [[Jack-in-the-Box]] and later tried pulling an armored car heist that got them nabbed by [[Winged Victory]].
The trio seems to know the worst times to pull jobs, usually right under the patrolling noses of some of Astro City's most famous super-heroes. They were in the wrong place at the wrong when sharing drinks with "Eyes" Eisenstien at the Craig's Avenue Bar and Grill.  Jack-in-theBox was patrolling the area and questioning known crooks about some recent criminal activities.<ref name="1:3">{{RefComic | title={{KBAC1}} | issue=#3 |page=|panel=| link=1:3}}</ref>  They found themselves wrapped in confetti and grilled mercilessly.  The very next month they attempted an armored car heist which was thwarted by [[Winged Victory]].<ref name="1:4">{{RefComic | title={{KBAC1}} | issue=#4 |page=|panel=| link=1:4}}</ref> Barely a year later the Confessor and Altar Boy pulled them out of a manhole that they were hiding in following a bank robbery. A piteous criminal track record to say the least.
