Something I've been noticing lately, in a lot of different places, is that as economic conditions get worse, things start getting stolen more often.

I'm not talking about shoplifting here; I'm talking about people stealing from their own communities. I've noticed increased reports of this in a wide variety of communities, across countries.

Please be mindful of who you are stealing from, and don't let it be your community. And conversely, if you are still doing well financially, look for people in your community who are financially drowning and how you can help them.
