Admittedly, it’s been a long while since I was in high school, but...why would someone bring that kind of cash to school in the first place?
I rarely had more than my lunch money for that day, and when I did carry more (for whatever reason), it was in the front pocket of my jeans. No way I was gonna leave money in my locker where I couldn’t get to it for hours at a time.
At any rate, it’s good that they caught the creepy Anita Dunn-look a like who was doing the stealing.
Addendum: Just so my first post is clear, I’m not blaming the students that were robbed. They should be commended for figuring out a way to catch the thief. I am just scratching my head as to why someone would risk bringing that much cash to school.
People are asking that question and I don’t have answer either. I was like you. I had to wash my mother’s car, promise not to whoop my brother for a month and that all sort of suck up before I could get a measly five bucks from her. At 16 I found it easier to just go get a job washing dishes at the local hospital. Mom was too much work.
When I was 14 I cut cords of wood and was making $200 to $300 per week. I just carried around money all the time.
No reason at all and I still do and now it’s more. Still no reason.
