Thieving from your p.d.

A few days ago, my court had a juvenile respondent who was alleged to have committed a theft on the way between school and a probation appointment (an appointment the kid kept, creditably).

The lawyer at "A Blues Like Down Home" went one better:

Now there's dumb....and then there's ....Stealing from your PD

...(Y)ou reach out of your own wallet in your purse to give "Joey" the $2.00 so he can get home on the bus. "Joey" then asks you if you'd write a note to his father letting him know exactly what happened in court 15 minutes earlier... you oblige... you turn away to get some paper... He's apprehended a short while later with your wallet...

Glad most of my kids have bus passes.
