When I was in high school and living at home with my folks, I owned an MG Midget that was stolen by a couple of kids who lived just down the block. They managed to smash it up pretty good and when it was returned there was a Kangaroo Jacket in behind the seats, it wasn't mine and I was about to throw it away when a bus pass fell out. I returned it with the aid of a police officer, the kid wasn't as happy to get his bus pass back as I thought he would be. Because of his age he was given a suspended sentence, he later went on to be a very good auto mechanic. He still lives just down the street from my folks, he maintains my dads truck free, guess he feels obligated. Hes actually a pretty nice guy now, I'm not sure how he would have turned out if he wasn't caught or was and went to prison, I'll never know.
