Almost daily I hear or read about crime and dishonest. Then hear how there has to be done something about it, so it will not happen again. Like putting video cameras up, alarms or more police on the street.
One example I heard was a school that was having a lot of problem with vandalism and how they had to put all sorts of security systems up which cost a lot of money, money that was to be use on teaching materials!
Think if everyone was honest, think of all the money that would be saved on security that could be used on other and better things! Maybe that's why Bible said not to steal.
It would be interesting to find out how much crime & dishonest cost society.
If you know of any statistics or reports about this, then let me know.

But what about the small things like taking a pen for the office or other small things. Put it all together what would that cost? I bet it's a lot of money that could have been use on something much better.
