The Stupidity of Stealing From Your Neighbor

I once heard of a married couple in South Carolina who had an earned master’s degree in criminology. They stole $15,000 worth of goods (including $2,500 worth of jewelry from their neighbor. No one suspected them until one day  they decided to have a yard sale right next door to the home they robbed. A friend of the people who had been robbed happened to stop by the sale and recognized some of the items, and called the police. It is hard to believe that people can be this stupid but it is also hard to think about the stupidity of sin and how we think we can get away with some pretty dumb stuff. (Lou Nicholes - Author/Missionary).
