So, here I am house sitting for the boss, who has embarked on a ten-hour round trip to retrieve his car that was stolen. I must admit it has crossed my mind that whoever broke into the house might come back or take my car. What is my plan?

Once somebody has a record, it is hard for them to get a job, and so it is easier for them to resort to a life of crime. In other words, if you want to fight crime, don’t fight it.
