Everything Happens For a Reason
And that reason is…
In West Virginia
Thief Jonathan Parker raided a house while the occupants were out for the evening. He climbed through a window, helped himself to their valuables.
When the owners returned, they contacted the police to report the crime. Besides listing their stolen property, they provided the police with the name, address and a picture of the thief. The cops sped to Jonathan Parker’s home and arrested him — still in possession of the stolen goods.
During the break-in, Jonathan had logged onto the family computer and viewed his own Facebook account, leaving an easy trail to follow.
In Oklahoma
Shoplifter Jacob Wise moved through the clothing section of a store, removing security tags from garments before stuffing them into his bag and walking out. But the alarm went off as he strolled through the exit door. He was stopped and found to have $100s of goods in his bag.
That’s what happens when you remove the tags but keep them in your pocket.
Everything happens for a reason, and the reason bad things happen to Jonathan and Jacob is that they are stupid and make poor decisions.
