That's a chunk of change, you know. That's life-altering money.First of all, I would not have informed the seller.
Second ... $26K isn't life altering money. It's a nice little windfall, but you would still have to get up and go to work the next day.

True, but someone like me, that's a year's salary right there. I could pay off my house, get a better car, fix the wife's van, put it away for one of the kids' education. Yeah, that would be life-changing in some way.

Down payment on a new truck or four months college for your kid. LOL

That’s what I was thinking too. It was about 20 years ago that I realized how dumb it is to rob seven-eleven’s. I calculated what I’d probably get by doing it and compared it to what I made at my career.
To keep up my standard of living I’d have to rob a seven eleven every single day. Obviously I’m ignoring the moral problem, but it drives the point home about how petty crime really is “petty” crime.
