Crime Quote by Anonymous
“Stealing is the greatest crime any individual can commit. If you kill a man, you steal a soul, you steal a father, a husband, a brother, a son, a friend, a cousin, an uncle. When you lie, you steal trust, communication, honesty and the list goes on. So remember, the next time you commit a crime, remember what you stole.”
