   I might have mentioned this once before in another story.  A fellow I   
   know in Oklahoma was telling me about a kid he caught stealing stuff   
   around his farm.  Instead of calling the sheriff or even the kid's   
   parents he asked him why he was stealing.  Well obviously no money, but   
   he wanted to do things that take money.  He gave him a lecture about   
   feeling better about himself using money he earned, and he gave the kid   
   a job doing chores around his place.  Stuff stopped disappearing.
