The Portrait of a thief

My best friend in year 3, Alex, confided in me during recess that he had seen a thief on his way to school. Even though I had heard a good deal about them, I had never seen one before. naturally, I was eager to learn more about this one. When Alex described what I recognised as a human. I was not just petrified, I was horrified and SHOCKED. i had no idea that thieves were actually one of us. Since then quite a number of people that I knew have been fleeced. I have been a victim myself; when I was most vulnerable. However, I am not in school anymore. I am not even in uni, unless I was there to teach. I have learnt alot and I am not as naiive as I was in Year 3. I believe thieves are anything but human
