We don't arrest people for being inclined to commit robbery. We arest them when they commit robbery. Or attempt it. Really attempt it. Not just talk about it.

Interestingly, a google search of "conspiracy to commit armed robbery" returns about 10,000 hits, many of which contain examples of people being arrested even though an armed robbery was not actually committed. Also, an admittedly quick review of conspiracy statutes found no examples which required the suspect to "really attempt" the robbery in order to obtain a conviction.
