ABSTRACT

Burglary is knowing physical things, being good with their hands, knowing how to see an opening, and knowing the value of things like jewelry, so they pick up the good stuff and leave the junk behind. It is finding a good partner, and having some contacts with fences and tipsters. The thief has the street knowledge and has the larceny in his heart. But he won't have the business know-how and he ain't world-wise either. It couldn’t deal with the businessman and with the public. That would have a hard time getting the good connections, say, with the police or other dealers. Making contacts with auction people and antique dealers is a lot easier than with their ordinary businessman. The auction people are shadier and they're not as afraid of taking a little risk. Without a doubt, yes, it helps to have good lawyer. Is good in the courtroom but has the connections to pay off is the main thing.
