Sometimes bad guys make the best good guys

A lot of urban fantasy stars cops and detectives - this lets them in to investigate weird murders and the like, naturally. But currently watching Leverage has me thinking along those lines - as the creators note, thieves and con artists have to be detectives in a way too. (It also solves the problem of why the PCs don’t call the cops if they’d get arrested if they did.)

If an organised crime cartel gets taken over by monsters, who is better set up to notice and do something about it than another bunch of criminals?

Thinking back, the Blood Brothers adventure Oath Of Blood for Call Of Cthulhu involves this. So, hey, precedent!
