Unit 29 Crime Does Not Pay
B : Have you ever thought about committing a
crime? Have you ever dreamed about holding
up a bank and driving away in a fast car? Or,
have you ever thought about taking a famous
painting from a big museum?
There are many stories in movies and on TV
of criminals who make a lot of money. They go
on to live a life of luxury. However, for every
successful criminal, there are many, many more
who fail. These crooks soon regret their crimes.
Take the example of a man in Winnipeg who
tried to break into cars in a police academy parking
lot. The man was found by the police in the
parking lot. They saw him trying to open the
doors of all the cars. The man was hoping to
find some loose change, or maybe take some
good car stereos.
However, he did not know that he was being
watched by police officers. He chose the parking
lot because it was in a very quiet area. He
thought that no one would see him. He was
soon arrested by the police. A foolish criminal
like this man shows us that crime does not pay.
