Ghost Whisperer Naivety

Alright, episode 13 of season 1 just makes me think that Melinda and even Jim have absolutely NO sanity when it comes to safety. It doesn't matter that the guy across the street turned out to be a good guy, when your "neighbour" is breaking into his "rental" in the middle of the night because he "lost" his bloody keys, you don't just believe him. You call the police! And when he is burying weird stuff in his yard and you suspect he's a murderer...call the police.

Honestly, with that kind of common sense and naivety, Melinda is going to end up dead the first time she encounters anyone who is actually dangerous, as opposed to all these seemingly evil guys who turn out to actually have a good explanation and a heart of gold.

It was like the earlier episode when Jim's mother brings over her boyfriend, so Jim gets his buddy to run a police check. The guy's apparently a con artist, but when Jim confronts him about it, his response is that he changed his name when he started his business to sound more official. Go look up this name, you won't find anything wrong with it. What does Jim do? Does he consider the fact that this guy is supposedly a con? No! Instead he feels terrible for mistrusting him, taking him on his word that the name was a mistake.

Give me their address, and I'll take these suckers for all their worth. They're lovely people, and so far really lucky, but there's no way that would last forever.
