criminal activity

I have many friends who love their hoodies.

One of the first rules of thievery, so we’ve been told, is to have a great exit strategy.  Get in, get out and don’t get caught while relaxing in the middle of your crime. Apparently, Jonathon Humphrey never learned the first rule. Probably why he got caught.
