Catalytic converter thief killed when driver wakes up and runs over him, authorities say

29. You don't make your own life easier by making life more difficult for another.

We had very little growing up, and some thieves stole the drive shaft off my dad's car during the night. We had no insurance then, so many decades ago. My dad had to work and save so many extra hours to try to get enough money to fix our poor old car so that he could go to work and not depend on rides to get him there.

How many catalytic converters do you need to steal to make a living at it? How many people do you need to hurt? What level of crime is okay to justify your situation, especially when there are so many social programs available to help out?

My husband and I both worked, sometimes three jobs between us, and raised two children, and it never entered our minds to do something like this, even when we were exhausted.

I am actually sorry this guy died and didn't have chance to change his life. It was a very big price to pay.
