Throughout part 3 of Truman Capote's non-fiction novel, In Cold Blood, Dick and Perry continue to be motivated by greed, and make stupid mistakes as a result. First, Dick and Perry return to Kansas City, after they have committed, "the most vicious [crime] in the history of Kansas" (160) because Dick believes that he will be able to steal a good deal of money very quickly there. In Iowa, on their way to Kansas City, Dick and Perry steal a car that they find in a barn. In order to disguise the car, they steal license plates from one of Dick's former employers. Later, when Dick passes more fake checks, he doesn't even bother to use a fake name. After this, Dick plans to steal more in Las Vegas, "by writing worthless checks right around the clock, he expected to haul in three, maybe four thousand dollars in a twenty-four hour period" (214). More mistakes on the parts of Dick and Perry ultimately help to lead to their capture as they pull up to a place where perry used to live.
