Maybe they should give all businesses a crook package to hand over with the stolen money ?
We can include a gift card ….a certificate for dinner for 2 at the restaurant of the crooks choice and an invitation to rob them again next week after the money runs out …ya think …we need to be easier on the gentlemen that STEAL from the working people
