Many, I believe, hard working, generally honest people, who may have never stolen anything in their lives- may make a spilt second decision to take a bike that could pay their rent for almost an entire year!! This by no means is my acceptance of theft of any kind, i just know what it is like to grow up...and to know what it is like to not know where your next meal might come from, or how the kids will get a christmas present this year.
