This reminds me of an old buddy of mine...
The guy was a smart chap, but a determined under-achiever.
So one day he finds himself working at this decent restraunt. But he's always complaining about how the entire staff is a bunch of low-life thugs. They're always talking about drug deals, and selling stolen property.
Well. He eventually starts hanging out with these guys after work. They go out and drink at a bar, chill and watch a game, then head home.
Well one day he and one of the guys take off after lunch shift to hit a sports bar for a while. (My buddy drives the both of them out there) My buddy has to work that night, the other guy has the night off. This guy tells my friend, "I need to check my schedule, just take me back to the restraunt, and I'll take a bus home."
So back they head to the restraunt. My buddy is working, the other guy is lounging around talking to people for an hour or so. It starts to get busy, and this guy says to my friend, "Oh, hey man, I forgot my *something-or-other* in your car, gimme your keys and I'll be right back."
Yeah. So it's busy, my friend gets back to work. About an hour later he realizes... "holy shit... he never brought my keys back." Runs out to the parking lot....
Car is stolen. The guy never showed back up to work, he was just there to get his last paycheck.
Anyhow, the moral of this story is... if you hang around with people that are shit, don't act surprised when you end up stepping in it.
