You're a fine storyteller, indeed. Felt like I was there, whether I wanted to be or not. These aren't easy stories to tell. And perspective is everything. We get to read, ponder, and draw our own conclusions, and hopefully that just brings us closer to the Truth.

From This Point

"So, Joe’s solution was to turn himself in. His plan was to drive over to Derek’s house, where some of the tools were stored in a trailer. He wanted to pick up the tools and either return them to Home Depot or take them to the police department the very next morning. I’m not sure; that part wasn’t really clear. He just texted Derek, “I’m taking them back in.”"

I knew where this was headed.

"And Joe—well, I hope Joe is in a better place."

Me To. One Of the things I believe is God Judges The Heart.

"And Derek—well, Derek left his surveillance camera running during the entire incident,"

Another Criminal Mastermind's career cut short.

I knew this cop and he would say The Galloping Dumbs catch more crooks than anything else.

Thanks for the feedback, Steve. Obviously, this is 100% fiction;) but I tried to share how scattered and rushed criminal behavior tends to be. Even when crooks decide to do the right thing, it looks manic.

Criminals that employ long-term thinking don’t usually last very long… they end up with jobs.
