The idea
Premises that genuinely support a conclusion — just not the one drawn.
In practice
"Vehicle break-ins have tripled" — therefore the sentence for break-ins should triple? The evidence supports doing something; the specific something arrived unescorted.
Where people slip
The most honest-looking fallacy: the premises are working, the conclusion just isn't theirs. Ask what the evidence would support.
