Confessions of a Cybermule

Do you guys enjoy getting trolled?

Somehow I don't see him getting a lot of sympathy here because stealing $2.5 million from people like us instead of earning his own was "very stressful."

it was from 7 different banks, not people, and where do you get that I'm asking for anything close to sympathy.

I was thinking the same thing. This thread is pretty sad either way.

That said I plan on bumping it for weeks to come :sly:

 

[John_Dillinger]

so if you were convicted of stealing $2.5M, why did the govt only want 1.3M back?!

because that's what I had in my home, that's all I had.

A truly reformed person knows that this is a bunk justification. Banks are people. *People* always pay.

EPIC thread in the making here...

 

[Ichinisan]

I have no regrets,

System failed?

[edit]
I get what you're saying anyway.

I've always despised people who take from others because they must feel personally that it's somehow "justified." They are not using their existence to make the world a better place.

Today, we caught a little kid trying to steal and I thought of this thread. This kid expressed true regret, facing up to the consequences by returning when we confronted him even when the two who put him up to it refused to stop.

He ended up hugging my security officer when he let him go (after recovering the merchandise, of course). He wasn't just sorry that he got caught. He wasn't just defeated after the other two kids abandoned him. He was truly sorry he had ever associated with them or allowed them to influence him. I doubt this kid will ever try something like that again specifically because he regrets ever doing it. This is over a shirt and not the multi-state coordinated CC or Traveler's Cheque fraud rings I've busted in the past. Those people are too far gone and will almost never express true regret despite the greater severity of their crime. No conscience.

I don't want to see this kid rot in jail in stark contrast with the other jerk we deterred today. Pro tip: we know you don't intend to spend any time shopping when you enter the store with a recently extinguished almost used up Black 'n' Mild in your mouth while pretending to be interested in the most expensive merchandise right next to the open door. You had my attention even before you started looking around to see who else was watching. Yes, I also saw you looking in the window, waiting for my officer to lose interest/leave. I also had people outside with you who you didn't even know were watching you. I did that with my phone and Motorola while you never even laid eyes on me. Glad we could be of DIS-service.

you're a horrible person....you get off on holding your "authority" over everyone around you...that's disgusting... way more disgusting than a thief in my mind.

Yeah. How dare I. People should be entitled to other people's property. How dare someone assert their authority over anyone attempting to take said property that they have no authority to take. Disgusting.

Not only is it what I am paid to do, it is what is right. I'm good at it and my employer recognizes that. It pays the bills and I can be proud of that. Get over it.

Also, you don't seem to realize that I do not interact with the people I catch. They aren't supposed to know who I am, what I look like, what I sound like, etc. I am not allowed to interact at all, so your characterization of me as throwing my weight/authority around to assert myself over someone is way off base. Grow up and stop making excuses for unapologetic criminals with "no regrets."

Shoulda stuck with the machine gun.

No, robbing a bank with a gun is a low % chance of getting away cleanly, roughly 85% are caught within 48 hours, then your only gonna get $5-10K at best and probably a dye pack thrown in that goes off 5 minutes after you leave the bank making all the cash useless anyway..
