<p>[QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 7930941, member: 100459"]We had a theft in our home when I was about 13. It seems that the thief snuck into our home and stole a Peace Dollar out of my mother's purse. As you can imagine, she was terribly upset. However, a store owner in town had a customer that bought a bunch of candy and paid for it with a Peace Dollar. The store owner was a classmate of my mother and she had told him that someone had stolen a Peace Dollar out of her purse. The store owner told her that someone had used the Peace Dollar to pay for candy. He gave the Peace Dollar to my mother and the description of the customer.</p><p>When she got home, she let me know that she got her Peace Dollar back and she had also confiscated all of my candy. My Dad was in Korea at the time, so she took his place and gave me a few licks with his belt and I was restricted to my room except for dinner and trips to the bathroom.</p><p>I learned a valuable lesson. Crime does not pay, especially with my mother, thank God. I never, ever took anything that wasn't mine after that and became a State Auditor.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
