"Criminal simulation"?

Criminal simulation is, in other words, forgery:

39-14-115. Criminal simulation. —

(a) (1) A person commits the offense of criminal simulation who, with intent to defraud or harm another:
(A) Makes or alters an object, in whole or in part, so that it appears to have value because of age, antiquity, rarity, source or authorship that it does not have;
(B) Possesses an object so made or altered, with intent to sell, pass or otherwise utter it; or
(C) Authenticates or certifies an object so made or altered as genuine or as different from what it is.
(2) A person commits the offense of criminal simulation who, with knowledge of its character, possesses:
(A) Any machinery, plates or other contrivances designed to produce instruments reporting to be credit or debit cards of an issuer who had not consented to the preparation of the cards; or
(B) Any instrument, apparatus or contrivance designed, adapted or used for commission of any theft of property or services by fraudulent means.

(b) Criminal simulation is punishable as theft pursuant to § 39-14-105, but in no event shall criminal simulation be less than a Class E felony.

[Acts 1989, ch. 591, § 1; 2009, ch. 408, § 1.]

It sounded like something Jim Morrison did in Florida

In case you thought car break-ins were isolated to just a few parks.....

a car was broken into this evening at the Stones River Greenway trail head between the TN State Police headquarters and the Y on Lebanon Road. The driver noticed two men in a car parked across from her - sitting and waiting. It made her nervous enough to decide not to stash her car key in the wheel well. So, she locked her car - forgetting about the laptop & purse in the backseat.

Dan's already said it: stash your valuables out of sight. I would add: don't ignore a bad feeling about a situation. The workout can wait for another time.
