Reminds me of the Occupy Wall Street days. Some very well off Bezerkley, Kalifornia students wanted to "join the struggle." They brought their brand new tents, sleeping bags, laptops and IPhones. When they weren't playing drums and smoking, they went off to join the marches. These young skulls full of mush left their expensive laptops in their expensive tents. When they returned that evening, not only were their laptops gone, so were there very nice tents and sleeping bags.
I love a story with a happy ending.
