Re: Theft and Entitlement
A thug hustla (aka black guy) shoplifting to pay for the gas in his Mercedes? Really? When does that happen?
Well it could be a gypsy except he would not be shoplifting but stealing your copper gutter <--( not sure if its the right word for the thingy that channels rainwater from your roof ). He would then sell the copper to put fuel in his Mercedes and yes he does drive a Mercedes.

Funny story i haveto share
a while back a family of gypsies tried to steal copper wire they forgot to check if it was still connected, so like in some cartoon the first grabs the wire and is getting electrocuted so then the second grabs him and also gets electrocuted 3 more follow before they call for help when i was reading the news article that had this story i was pissing my pants in laughter they all got treated for electrical burns and arrested for stealing.

Re: Theft and Entitlement
Not many here in the US.
Well in my region the problem is they never got civilized like the ones in the Maribor region where you cant tell a gypsy from a regular Joe.
In my region its like the law does not exist for them none of them have drivers licenses and all of them drive. They steal loads of iron and copper but most crimes dont get reported because the value is so low but i got one that was out on parole back to prison because he stole 3 euros worth of old iron lol, i did it out of principle i could have done worse and told the "king" of the gypsies in my region a friend of mine and a relatively civilized man and he would probably wake up in the hospital.
Their kids hardly go to school even mandatory primary school .....

Re: Theft and Entitlement
They're pretty bold, and apparently they must be making some decent money on the stuff.
Well copper is expensive as shit and when you steal a tone of the stuff you make some decent money.
current prices are around 4 euros a kilo so if you nab a tone of the stuff you get 4000 EURos minus the 10% the companies take for dealing with "scrap" metals and if your a gypsy you dont pay the income tax lol so your left with 3600 EUR or 4900 $ and since copper is heavy you get a tone peaty fast if you start emptying out warehouses
EDIT: lol crap used 2007 prices, now its almost double that. So 7000 EUR or 9500 $
