Dumb Luck
I thought I would share this funny story, My father who was having his morning coffee and read of the daily paper in the garden, heard a noise in the house, when he went in to see what it was, all he saw was the leg of a kid disappearing out of the lounge window. He went to the coffee table where he keeps his wallet, small change, phone and his watch (a new yg dd President ) anyway the money was gone from his wallet the small change and phone gone but his watch was still sitting there, obviously a gold Rolex is not worth stealing. What is wrong with todays youth ?

Misguided youth, I tell you.
Still hope he is found and brought to justice before he starts doing even worse.

I'd be counting my lucky stars the watch was not grabbed for good measure.

My whole apt got ripped off when I was 20. They took Cd's, VHS tapes, and a camcorder but never mind a couple thousand in professional cook knives? They were untouched. I was a cook at the time. Non the less it sucks to get your stuff taken.

What is this world coming to. I don't want to live in a world where thieves don't know how easy it is to turn a YG DD into cash.
