Sins of the Fathers Chapter 5: The Rocket Racer - S3-E5
Stupidity: The huge rover that the criminals use to aid in their bank robberies tears up the streets they travel down, which leaves a huge trail for the authorities to follow and track them down. Adding to the stupidity is the fact that the highly intelligent Spider-Man doesn't think to follow the path of destruction they leave behind to locate them.
Answer: In the comics, Hobgoblin's true identity was kept a mystery for a long time intentionally and while many fans deduced it was Kingsley, and creator Roger Stern was leaning that way, Stern left the series in 1984. In 1987 Hobgoblin's identity was revealed to be Ned Leeds and then Macendale became Hobgoblin. It wasn't until 1997 that Sterns wrote the mini-series "Hobgoblin Lives" and retconned Kingsley as the original Hobgoblin.
