One time in a group class (we had been together for a good length of time), I asked if anyone had ever stolen anything. Most answers were about minor things like candy or lipstick, maybe a magazine. Then I got an answer that shocked me. There was a very quiet girl from Japan who had hardly spoken the whole time during the class.
She said, " I stole a decorative chair from an art museum I had worked for. My friend and I just picked it up and carried it out just as if we were meant to."
"So, what happened then?" I asked her, thinking that she probably got caught.
"Well," she said, "we decided the chair looked funny all by itself. So we went back and stole the other one."
As they say, it's the quiet ones you have to look out for.
Thanks for reading, Michael. It was logical, wasn't it?

I see your point about how you can underestimate those people who are not demonstrative or happen to be very...subtle when being with a group of people. I do, however, appreciate her logic for stealing the other chair!
