  My mom looked up and saw them on the roof and
• 0:14
  said, get down from there. They didn't move,
• 0:20
  so she said it more sternly. Get off of that
• 0:24
  roof and come down here. They came quickly then.
• 0:30
  They admitted to the police that they stole it
• 0:33
  from a school and I think they returned the items
• 0:35
  to him. And the police went on the way. They
• 0:40
  were real lucky that they did not go to juvenile
• 0:43
  detention. As my brothers became older, they
• 0:48
  began doing worse crimes. My younger brother
• 0:51
  was caught driving with an expired 30 -day tag.
• 0:54
  Not only that, he changed the date and it was
• 0:57
  pretty obvious. He went to court and they let
• 1:00
  him go with a suspended license for 30 days,
• 1:04
  I believe. That incident straightened him up
• 1:07
  quick. On the other hand, my oldest brother was
• 1:11
  writing bad checks to dominoes almost every Friday.
• 1:19
  He would invite his friends over and order pizza
• 1:21
  or two from Domino's and force his name on someone's
• 1:25
  checks he had stolen. The checks were in a woman's
• 1:29
  name and I don't know how he got away with it
• 1:31
  so long. Wow. I believe the checks were for such
• 1:39
  a small amount that the person did not notice
• 1:41
  the money was gone from her account for a while.
• 1:44
  But when he was caught, boy what he called. The
• 1:49
  police showed up at the house on a cold winter's
• 1:51
  night. the police print out to our mother and
• 1:59
  he admitted doing it and he had to go to court
• 2:03
  and he had a court date to go to. My oldest brother
• 2:07
  stole cars from my other lot. One day he came
• 2:15
  home with this mini jeep. It was so nice and
• 2:20
  we asked him where he got it from. He said it
• 2:23
  was our cousin's car and he had let him borrow
• 2:25
  it. The same day he brought this rare Z28 home
• 2:30
  and told us the same story. where my younger
• 2:33
  sister and I went for a ride with him, just cruising,
• 2:39
  until a couple days later the police showed up
• 2:41
  and arrested him. I believe he was back home
• 2:43
  the same day. He never got serious punishment
• 2:46
  from the police or from my mom. That is why he
• 2:50
  kept committing crimes. Even when he lived in
• 2:53
  Mississippi with my older sister as a grown man,
• 2:56
  he got into some trouble down there and rushed
• 2:58
  back home. We never knew what kind of trouble
• 3:01
  it was, but it had something to do with the car.
• 3:05
  He kept going back and forth from Ohio to Mississippi.
• 3:09
  As far as I know, today he is making an honest
• 3:11
  living. I guess he figured whatever crimes he
• 3:14
  was going to do, that he was going to get caught
• 3:17
  eventually. Back in the day when he was a criminal,
• 3:22
  he saw crime paid, and it did for a short while.
• 3:27
  His bad check writing paper, his hunker, and
• 3:30
  those cards, for his lack of transportation,
• 3:41
  for a little while. It took a long time for him
• 3:43
  to see that. Crime don't pay.
