Patty, Considering my profession, I agree with you one hundred percent. My last article involving the BB gun robbery had the Milwaukee cops aiming their new assault rifles at the kid. If you are bringing a gun to robbery, it better be real, because the cops are going to act like it is. No sympathy from me.

I used to work in a bookstore and a guy came back in the music/movie department, where I was working, with an application in his hand and I caught him trying to steal a dvd. I'm pretty sure the guy I caught didn't turn his application in though.
