Was it worth it?

Tulelake, CA— Lairs and thief’s

Why are some people so stupid? Do they think people are not going to know? You see the thing about lairs and thieves is they both run together. If a person steals, they are also known to be lairs.

For me I will do the world for people, until you either lie to me or steal from me. Why do people think they can go to your house and you are not going to know when they decide to take something by way of a five-finger discount?

I trust people too much but the second I can no longer trust you, it is over and done with. It is not what you stole but rather you stole it in the first place. You wanted something so bad that you had to steal it out of someone’s house to get it.

What gets me the most is I am always good to people and if I can I will try and help them.

When I was much younger I had a young friend that came to visit a lot. I even allowed him in my house. Before too long he stole the keys to one of my trucks because he was running away from home. So he decided to steal my truck as his get away vehicle. First of all he was too young to be driving and second of all he had no driver’s license.

He was caught luckily before he crashed the truck or killed someone. Then there was another time where another young man stole a car stereo that I had been holding on to for another friend. While I left him alone in the house he ran out the front door like I was not going to know what he had done.

Then people wonder why I do not trust people in my house. I don’t care how old you are if you are of questionable character I am going to be on alert and I will notice when something is missing the second you walk out the door. From a cell phone to a simple lighter stolen. If you steal something, then you will also lie about taking it.

I have had people help me over the years and the last thing in the world I would ever do to them is lie to them or steal from them as that is not what friends do. When people steal from you it is better to find out early they cannot be trusted because later it may be too late after they have stole you blind and lied about it.

When the time comes and if I get the opportunity to get my business up and running they will be the last person I will think of when it comes to hiring them to work for me. If I cannot trust them with the little things in life how can I trust them with the big things in life?

It is not what was taken but the idea that anything was taken at all.

So I hope it was worth it.
