"So you know now, that they were truly in dire need of money without having lost their morals or being "a bad person". Trying to minimize your loss is kind of sweet, I think. Hopefully people realize, what capitalism is doing to us."
Singaman reacted:
"I'm confused, which email address did they send you the email if they used your email."

"What are we now, thanking criminals. I dnt know abt u, but I would rather have my laptop than just my report. He stole something, he needs to be locked up, we all meet tough times, imagine if we all stole at those times."
