    My wife's credit card was stolen but i didn't bother to get it back cause the thief was spending less than my wife
  • When a thief says the best deterrent is to be neighborly it shows how reluctant we are to talk to each other and its sad.
  • @cmcota37
    I love how professional this interview is and the respect between criminal and law. They are showing that he’s a nice person but had a shitty career choice! Awesome doc
  • If a robber broke into my house looking for money I would look with them
  • If I'm looking inside a house and I see a bottle of Dawn or Tide, that's a detergent.
  • Something tells me, by doing this interview, he has helped a lot more people than he hurt.
  • @orangezhu1288
    this guy's knowledge and understanding about his "target customers" is way beyond most sales people in any businesses
  • just finished watching this alright wish me luck guys
  • Our home was robbed on a bad weather day (heavy rain). The cops told us they felt safer breaking-in while the rain noise helped them from being easily heard or from neighbors hearing. They'd cased our place & waited for bad weather & us being gone to work.
  • This guy was the most positive gentleman I ever heard to be facing 20 to 30 years in prison
  • His inteligence was wrongly used... What a shame...
  • 1.5K burglars are upset with this dude revealing some of their tricks.
  • Think we need to take a minute to appreciate that this man knows he's done wrong and is helping do right now
  • I truly hope Shane has been honest and truthful and actually suffers remorse and stays clean of drugs. When he gets out please continue with these public service messages and visit with local PD and community groups with this sort of message. It will help a lot of people

    “I don’t tie people up and hurt them. I’m a thief; I’m not proud but it’s what I am.” PROFESSIONALS HAVE STANDARDS
  • At first I was wondering "Why is he so careful to make sure no one is home?" Then I remembered he was in Texas. Not wanting to get shot can be a great motivator.
  • No one answers the door anymore even when they are home
  • One of the best interviews of 43 mins. Love every min of it back 2016 still love it in 2023.
