I'm not advocating robbery and muggery (ouch that sounds bad!)
I do admit if I just happened to be in the same vicinity as the the mark ...
at the time...
10 million in jewelry is far more than tempting...
I'd be pulling out my batarang grappling hook out of my utility belt ...
and start walkin up the hotel wall...
real quick like....
to that Cayman Islands retirement fund sitting in that hotel room...
that is just waiting for someone else to beat me to it.

Sorry pichlo...
but honestly....
advocating?
Once safely in a non extradition country...
happily retired...
the actual good that could be accomplished with 3/4 of that sum...
would be more than many of the undeservedly wealthy ever meaningfully contribute in their entire lifetime....
So if that is my thinking...
then I would like to think such robbers ....
who did get away with the jewelry...
may do some charitable work with a portion of it...at least.

As far as the ..." * " that the UK is descending into...
(I just can't think of a word or concept that encompasses what nightmare the Brits are happily embracing...)

Glad the madness ain't here man...
knock on wood.

Canadian thunking wins out every time...

We fear for the worst...
Hope for the best...
Shoot, cook and eat the rest...
(It is an old saying here...)

the moment any issue strays into the realm of the mad or ridiculous,,...
we tend to sober up and cut the BS...
