The Horse Gets Back to Criminal Behaviors

As some of you will remember, I used to plant corn, green beans, and sunflowers at Kaiser (my medical provider) in Martinez CA. They had planters out there that were unused, and I decided to take action.
They removed the planters a year or so ago, and my criminal tendencies were left frustrated. But recently, I discovered a scratched up Honda Prius in the parking space next to mine. At my apartment complex.
My fingers trembled, and eventually I gave in. I used my car polish to remove the scratches, and then buffed the surfaces out. I have no idea who owns the car. I will attach a picture I took when I was half way done.
Do you have criminal tendencies? How do you allow them to present themselves?

One I have to stomp on is taking "cuttings" and seeds from public plants.

My grandmother was notorious for that. And I do it sometimes, too.

Pretty take cuttings and seeds from plants growing in the ditches by people's houses... And then hands me the ill-gotten gains to carry home. I keep telling her she's going to get me arrested.

All the time. This has not changed with years.

I would say that is a good one at least.
I am usually pretty good except for speeding.

First guerilla gardening, and now *gasp* unlicensed car repair!

@TheHorse Absolutely! Do you prefer pecan or coconut frosting on your German chocolate? I think my grandma made the coconut kind.

I don't know what's so criminal about cleaning up someone's car, though they could think you're trying to break in. So, there's that.

I work for The White House, Acme Greeting Cards, and The Christianity Divison Of Godco Inc, LLC and many others. None of them allow criminal behaviors of any kind. I'm envious of your freedom.

I didn't realize you'd ever stopped your criminal tendencies...

@TheHorse They were afraid people would start rioting over the food as it ripened?
Can you imagine their security person watching you on CCTV and complaining to his boss about you planting beans and corn every year?

@JudyEv Heh. Alex Jones (if I have the name right) is an American conspiracy theorist who has duped Americans out of millions of dollars. Some of his "theories" (no school shootings occurred here, etc.) are supported by legitimately elected lunatics like Marjorie Taylor Green (from Georgia). I am NOT joking.

@TheHorse The guy who towed my car to our new place believed the COVID vaccine has a 'chip' in it so later they can annihilate us all or turned us into zombies or whatever. Truly, you have to wonder about some people. Other than that, he was a really nice guy.
