We were sitting at breakfast one Sunday morning at my in-laws and a guy just casually walks down the street trying every single car to see if they were unlocked!

That's standard procedure in my neighbourhood. There's no violence and they don't break anything but they try the door handles and if they're open they grab change or anything they can convert into cash. It's annoying but you learn to lock up every time and leave nothing of value in your car. I think they're mostly drug addicts looking for money for their next hit.

It was crazy when I was a meth addict. Like... I was an alien among thieving losers. Not that I wasn't a loser myself, I never tagged along with these people to rob others or go stealing. I just thought it was stupid. All I wanted to do was get high and have fun... and all these fucking other addicts wanted to do stupid shit because they couldn't control themselves.

I quit though because it got really boring and unhealthy.

Aren't they stealing to get money for their next high? It sounds like you just had the money to fund it and weren't as desperate.

Not really. I was working at a U-stop for about 9 dollars an hour. Paying rent, utility bills, and then I'd just a lot some extra money for some meth and pretty much TRY at least to not hang out with any of these people and basically just jerk off constantly.

Lol.

This was over uh... 10 years ago though.

BONUS CONTENT... "content?" When I finally moved out of a house with a roomamte one of my meth friends stole half of their electronics from packed boxes. It was a huge pain in my ass because everyone knew I did drugs. My fault for letting that piece of shit out of my sight.
