Can't Pay? Take it anyway

The US reality show Bait Car where police entrapment of auto thieves shows them leaving a car unattended with keys in the ignition and waiting for an opportunist criminal to hop in to the driving seat and take off is instructive in revealing the moral wasteland inhabited by the crooks who only hesitate to seize the vehicle long enough to ensure that they can get away with it.

The range of the moment instant gratification mentalities of the criminals who are being videoed in the car has a  comical side especially when the police sirens start wailing and the looks on their faces turn from thrill and elation to glum and stunned surprise as it dawns on them that they are headed for another spell in jail, but it illustrates the unthinking impulse driven delinquent entitlement culture of the criminal underworld.

This same entitlement culture is on display in a UK prog entitled Can't Pay?We'll Take it Away about enforcement officers who collect unpaid debt but in the prog I saw about squatters who had taken over a large office complex and caused 100,000 of damage the interesting aspect was how they believed they had a right to do what they were doing,because the welfare state had taught them that they were owed a living and sheltered accommodation.They had none of their own so it was perfectly natural that they should seize someone else's property and claim it as their own.The shocking thing is that they were allowed to walk away presumably to find another property to ransack and appropriate when they really should have been arrested for theft and criminal damage and thrown in jail.Proof if proof were needed that socialism and the welfare state teaches people that they should be paid for existing and if they do not have what is their god given right they should seize it from others.
