Career criminal laid off by homeowner.

I used to live in a house that was broken into and robbed on a somewhat regular basis. Fortunately, whoever it was that made a habit of stealing from me (and my elderly next door neighbors) preferred to do it when we were away. Also fortunately, I only lived in that house for a few years. I got tired of doing something like the following every night, all night long:

Kevin’s dad was 100% in the mob.

Anyway, it has always stuck with me that breaking into someone’s house is an incredibly dangerous and stupid thing to do. In my case, I had an alarm on the house. While it’s true the police never came quickly, it was possible that just one time they might have. I also never bothered replacing my nice stuff with more nice stuff. When my plasma screen TV exited my house through the back window, I replaced it with a 200 pound unmovable (but flat screen) television behemoth. The biggest annoyance was paying to have my glass window panes replaced. But someone kept breaking in, and risking his life, on the off chance that I got nice stuff when he wasn’t looking.
