If there was a bag of notes outside an insurance company's building and 0 chance of me getting caught - damn sure I'd take it! Actually if there was a bag of money anywhere I'd take it :rolleyes:*I really am a trustworthy employee

If you think about it for a second, when you steal from the bank, you're partially stealing from everyone who has money in that bank in two ways: firstly, it's their money; and secondly, when the insurance company gets a claim from the bank, their insurance premium goes up, which in turn increases bank charges, which we have to pay for. On an economic level, stealing decreases the value of currency. Money is received without any input to the economy by the earner, so everybody loses. In addition, banks have to reduce the interest rates they pay out (which are already low enough) and increase interest rates on loans such as mortgages. That means less people can afford to buy houses which leads to a huge slump in the housing market as house prices drop to support these poorer people. The fall in house prices leads directly to economic recession. So, from the moment you steal that money from the bank, you have created a downward economic spiral, an economic black hole, into which you will inevitably fall yourself. Not to mention all of the other people you're anally raping by stealing from the bank. And personally, I learned my lesson on stealing the same way as monkeyfudge. Stealing is bad.
