>>Gypsies do steal, and that’s a fact.<<
If they are human, then I would agree. ;)
Gypsies don’t steal just because they are human, they steal because they are Gypsies. For generation, among other activities, and for whatever reason, it’s what they do. Of course there will always be exceptions. So were these Gypsies as I know them, and have seen them, or roving Irish swindlers?
