too me that is the absolute worst part of these types of stories, these guys are obviously fit, strong, and outstanding problem solvers; but they use that god given talent to pull off this level of theft, rather than using that capability to go to work, build a business, or otherwise help contribute to a terrible neighborhood or community they themselves are likely a part of.

i am 26 years old and i am appalled almost daily at the people my age who use mental or physical skills i would love to have; to steal S*** from walmart!!! it just boggles my mind.

perfect example** a local "buy here-pay here" dealer i haul cars for from time to time once repo'd a non-payers car and had it locked up on his lot, two guys cut a hole in the fence, and pushed the car by themselves 3/4 a mile up the road to load it on a friends trailer.
i don't know what they stashed in it to make it worth all that effort, but i just struggle to understand how you could put THAT much effort into that risky stupid situation, but wont go out and at least make an effort to work on a productive job or project.



**fortunately tweedle dee and dumb failed to notice the lot and the road in front of it had cameras everywhere, so it took the cops all of two days to find them and the truck and trailer they used and lock em up.
