"Smart" Shoplifters

 So I'm watching the news this evening and I see there of course have been a spike in thefts during the holidays.  While this is not a big shocker I guess the way the shoplifting was executed is what drew me into the news story.  These shoplifters took a simple idea and implicated it and went into a full organized day event hitting mall to mall stealing tons of items.  They pretty much found bags with the stores brand on it and took it into the stores and just filled them up.  Of course they finally got caught and while some may not think it was that smart, I thought it was creative.  My opinion is thieves and crooks go through so many measures and schemes to make money but what they fail to realize is if they pumped their energy into doing the right thing they could be successful, productive business men or women.  It really confuses me how some people almost damn near kill themselves to make a quick dollar but wont do what it takes to make an honest living.  I understand things are expensive and money is tight but if you don't have the means, you don't have the means.  There are plenty, and when I say plenty I mean plenty of things I would like to have, but I know that anything worth having is worth honestly working for.  Anyways this was just my venting for today, you all have a happy and safe holiday.
