Little more info...
This guy was basically a genius when it came to stealing things.
He would walk into a store/gas station/school /anywhere and identify who was doing what and within minutes have figured out the security weakness and then he stole whatever he wanted.
As an example, one time he counted the employees in a Sport's Expert store and when they were all out on the floor, he slipped in the back (stock room), used a door stopper to jam the door and made out the back door with a bunch of shit.
Another time he kicked my step brother's skateboard under a moving truck and it got wrecked. We were pissed at him and he felt bad so that afternoon he showed up with 2 new skateboards to make up for it.
As he got older he moved on to bigger crimes. Him and some of his thief friends would break into stores at night through the roofs and go for the store safes. I guess once they were on the roofs, they were out of sight and could use power tools to break through. I heard they pulled off dozens of those.
