I seriously don’t understand the mentality of people who rent a movie and then never bring it back or pay for it’s replacement. Are they really so hard up for that movie that they are willing to steal it? Yes, it is theft. If you rent something for a day, then never [...]

I’ve written often about shoplifters we catch or find in the store, but I’ve never written about what happens when someone sells us stolen goods. It happens from time to time, and short of strapping everyone up to a lie detector there’s really no way for us to know ahead of time. One [...]
