Stealing from rich vs. stealing from the poor

I assumed the ringleader was some wealthy failson. But point taken I shouldn't repeat the local news or cops words uncritically. It's just my friends had their caty taken and its just added cost in these already costly times. Anyway the caty racket will continue, the rhodium & platinum must flow.

I mean it's basically the opposite of good theft. Instead of hitting specifically the owning class (e.g. shoplifting, """"time theft""""), it hurts mostly ordinary people by fucking up their cars.

EDIT: Meant to say time theft, not wage theft, as in people "stealing" from employers by not working every minute they're paid for.

Catalytic converter theft hits people pretty hard (most states have emissions checks and you need one to pass most if not all of them, which means $$$ even with insurance. Also, you sound like you're driving a lawnmower for awhile till you can get it fixed), so I think it's okay to feel good that less of that is happening. :shrug-outta-hecks:

My personal feeling at the crime described was lol lmao gettit because I am too poor to own a car and angry at the world, but I understand the people reveling in the thief's misfortune are also angry at the world that yoinked their car part so all's fair

Yes? When the leader of an organized crime ring that's stolen tens of millions of dollars from mostly poor people gets arrested, that's good.
