15. Theft Occurs Everywhere
An elderly woman told the police that, as
entered a restroom, she was jostled by a
behind her. A few minutes later, as she
about to pay for a moustache remover at
nearby store, she discovered that her wallet was
from her purse. Apparently the woman who had
into her had cleverly stolen her wallet. This
of theft is called pick-pocketing.
Perhaps an even
personal kind of theft is known as housebreaking,
burglary. After such an intrusion, the victims often
a feeling of violation. They seldom regain the
and security level they used to have in
home. They constantly feel like they are being
; they feel that if they go out, the
will again come in. They feel uncomfortable when
are home, and they feel uncomfortable when they
’t home.
Burglars get lucky or make their own
. Sometimes homeowners forget to lock all their windows
doors. Sometimes burglars will break a window, cut
a screen door, or force open a side
.
Thieves have no shame. They will steal from
that they think is vulnerable. Of course, that
the elderly are their frequent victims. Some thieves
very clever; some are very lucky. All of
make an honest person’s life more difficult. It’s
bad that all of them can’t be caught
converted into honest people.
Imagine that: a world
no larceny, a world where you can park
bicycle unsecured on the sidewalk, or leave your
unattended in your shopping cart. Is this only
dream? Some say that if you can dream
it, it can happen.
