No because law enforcement would catch up eventually. That's all they do all day long and often on weekends.

[strateguy632]

i would get caught.

[KostasKouvalis]

Possibly. I've gotten away with a lot of stuff, but I've also been caught for things I never expected to be caught for, so I feel it could go either way honestly. In my school days I definitely could've gotten away with it, because there were a few times where I got away with things, because the teacher and principle didn't believe that I could do such a thing.

The thing is, I'm not necessarily putting on an act. But I hold back initially, but after a while I get too comfortable and my bad traits start to manifest themselves and that's when I get in trouble.

I've found it's best not to press my luck and law low until the heat dies down. That's how I kept my last job for as long as I did. I got lucky, because they always laid me off when things were getting hot, so I was able to let the heat die down then come back in a few months and start fresh. But last time, they kept me on for too long and that was that.

So I think I could If I'm careful and don't press my luck. I'm not very street smart, but I DO have a tendency to think outside the box. My biggest issue is, I often get lazy and cut corners, and you can't do that with crime or you will get caught. But I think if I was patient and careful I could get away with it. When I watch crime shows, the majority of people get caught because someone on the inside snitches.

[Agape93]

Oh 100% yes. What you think @DryGermanGuy? What would i be?

[DryGermanGuy]

A cat-burglar in a tight leather catsuit, no doubt. 🤔😆

[Agape93]

XD such confidence

[abc3643]

The answer is Yes because I'd be pretty savvy at it.
However, I voted No because my guilt would get to me. I have a strong instinctual set of ethics not to do unnecessary harm.

[exitseven]

Yes, I hung out with cops for 20 years and know a lot about police procedure.

[msc545]

I would not want to walk around constantly. Worried that I was going to be apprehended and sent to prison. It's not worth it.

[Staximus]

I’ve had the opportunity more than once and even got offered a job collecting money for the bookies, but I turned those opportunities down because I like being alive and not in jail

[canamlusciouslad73]

Yes, but why would I?
