------------- THESE IGNORANT, AVARICIOUS ANAL-VENTS ...
.... are too dumb -- or vain --to leave their cash and valuables at
home, or at least in a hotel vault.
Most of those gettin' ripped off are NBA players, or NHL thugs, few of
whom are educated or what you'd call class-acts. E.g., Kobe, Mobley,
et al.
The first thing they do when they check into a place is parade around
the lobby and bars showing the world how rich they are. Bling-bling!
The second thing is they collar one of the ****ters and tip 'em to
procure a prostitute or five.
Such stupid acts leave them open to theft, yet they wonder, "Why me?"
If I was a thief, I'd become a basketball groupie and reap the
rewards!
