We have a way of dealing with people who steal things. Coreyâs pretty good at stuff like this, and one day someone reached over the counter and stole a Rolex. We caught him red-handed, dead to rights, stealing a Rolex out of the case.
Itâs one of those things where you can call the cops. Theyâre going to give the guy a ticket or take him to jail. If they press charges, heâs not going to show up in court. This whole ordeal is likely to waste six months of my life.
Someone in the shopâI wonât say whoâasked the guy, âSo, you want an ass-beating or you want to go to jail?â
Well, any self-respecting criminal will take the ass-beating any time. This guy was no exception. So this unnamed employee walks up on him and spits in his face. Then the unnamed employee says, âWipe that off your face and Iâll break your nose.â
The guy just stands there, and the unnamed employee says, âOK, now give me your driverâs license or ID.â The guy starts hemming and hawingââNo, donât do that.â The employee looks at him like heâs going to make good on his promise to break the guyâs nose, so the guy reaches into his wallet and gives him his driverâs license.
The employee calmly walks behind the counter, to the wall near where Old Man sits, and pins the driverâs license to the wall.
âOh, no, man,â the Rolex-stealer says. âYou canât do that.â
âI canât? Why donât you call the cops and tell them that?â
âOh, man, now youâre going to make me go to the DMV?â
We figure itâs worse to go to the DMV for six hours to get an ID than it is to go to jail. Most of the guys weâve caught stealing seem to agree.
