The main problem with today's thieves is they also like to TRASH the house (class warfare) while they do their dirtywork..........
Ever catch that show on Discovery, "To catch a thief" I think it's called? The premise is, they find a poorly secured home, have the owners sit in a van outside watching while an ex-pro thief ransacks the place. He trashes the homes, he says it's just "part of the attitude" - if someone doesnt respect the law, do you really think they'll respect your belongings? It's not class warfare, not all the time, it's just thieves with sh*tty attitudes.
PS - the show is hosted by an ex-burglar, too. They're both white, and look like your average Joe. That's how they got away with it, they could walk/drive through your neighborhood or building, andnobody would give it a second thought.
Yes, I've seen a few episodes. The "trashing" of the house isn't necessary. People like that give thieves a bad name........
