    meant showing off your wealth aka asking to be robbed.

    That’s exactly how I choose my targets. You may say burglary is illegal, but I consider the presence of windows to be consent. We’ll eventually find out how this defense holds up in court. I’m saving this post for that day.

    Probably.

        Wouldn’t the judges get annoyed by me just giving them some of their stuff back? (I’m keeping the best pieces. Otherwise what’s the point?) I’m ok with the cost of doing business and all. Even crooks have to pay their taxes.

        • now I’m just thinking out loud here for a sec. Wouldn’t it just be easier to leave sticky notes on the things I was going to steal, but chose not to. That way they would be grateful and see I payed my taxes up front. Thoughts?

          No, no. You misunderstood. You steal from one judge and bribe their rival, then keep it going by playing them against each other. Basic economics, my friend…
