Visible crew/equipment: After getting the $30,000 off the drug dealer LT is shown high and staggering around the dealer's apartment building.

Stupidity: After Caleb escapes the vampire "family" with his father and sister, he undergoes a blood transfusion which cures his vampirism. As soon as this was done Caleb, his father and sister should have fled somewhere else immediately. The vampire "family" knew where he lived as they kidnapped him in front of his home. Instead, they stick around the home, with no obvious intention of leaving. Of course, the vampires track them down and kidnap Sarah.
