such a thing as smart thieves?

Well, BJ’s truck and two other automobiles were broken into last Sunday while we were inside a rented location for the church baptisms. Unfortunately, the thieves stole his ipod and stereo but fortunately, left the remaining pieces they had to take out to get to such items in very good shape. BJ was able to just pop the pieces left back in place and besides the rectangle shape of the stereo vacant and the key holes on the door jammed his car still looks clean and damage free. My ipod was also in the car along with 75$US in the cubby hole compartment right by the stereo. BJ was more upset over his ipod due to the fact that that was his main source of American entertainment/preaching/music . There are different kinds of thieves and although these thieves did a quick job and broke into 3 cars efficiently they could have made more off of BJ’s money, taking my ipod as well, and taking a little deeper look into BJ’s truck. I say this because a couple day before this occurred BJ and I had made a trip to downtown (yikes-busy busy) down to a government building to register his truck. We had a couple more steps and paperwork to fill out before we could finalize and register his truck. These papers, with all of BJ’s info and history on it, were in the truck under the console in the middle seat! If the thieves had even bothered to look they could have made off with 75$US and a truck (that could be altered to register under their names) and made much more money than they are getting now with a couple of used electronic equipment. Praise God no one was hurt in the process and BJ’s truck was not stolen. This is bound to happen to just about everyone at some point in their lifetime and I am just thankful it was not a bigger or more dangerous issue than this.
