You believe that?
You feel tempted to steal someone else's property just because you can see it?

That says a lot about you.

Seeing a mound of cash - it would be quite a big pile - it would be normal to stop and stare and any opportunist thief would be very tempted.

You know exactly what I meant, stop being awkward

Are you saying you wouldn't be tempted?

DA would more than likely get an offshore 'graduate' to steal it and take 25%

Are you saying you wouldn't be tempted?

Not even me

Yes, but equally, if DA saw the toddler unattended he'd be in there getting them to sign an Opt Out form, an exclusive representation agreement and asking them for references.

He would sell the toddler on high street

Most people walking past a house who saw a big pile of cash unattended would be tempted to grab it. The same would not be said of a toddler.

I am sure that the McCanns would not leave their £357,000 unattended in the villa while they go out to dinner.

I'm sure that your typical robber wouldn't kidnap a child.

It's a risk assessment - like everything else in life. Back in the day it was perceived to be less of a risk - as evidenced by the fact that so many people did it. Now it's too risky.

My point is that there is a transition between those two points and that someone will inevitably the the last one to be a victim before the general consensus is that it's too risky.

Someone must have or it would still be normal now.

Is that where you've got Suity stashed away?

No, he should be home by now, was only here yesterday afternoon.

Cullingworth B&B, need I say more?

"Having a thing" and "getting it" are two separate en'tit'ies.
