There's a local thief in my town, who told roughly 5 k from my grandfather. Literally "befriended" the senile old fuck and got him to give him his bankcard. Over several months he took out 5 kish.
He also stole every other tool in his shed(he has a tone of tools)
Apparently I saw him fucking around my parents house two days ago despite being on the other end of town. Apparently he's just stealing from virtually everyone living in a 2 km radius.
The police are well aware he's stealing and threatening people regularly.
I wouldn't think twice of paying 5 grand for a little tony soprano.
Keeping in mind I'm apparently not at all original and there's about 400 million of us going through the same thing.
