Hood Rats steal what is in front of them to eat/live for the day
suburban rats are more saavy and sophisticated and aspire to steal the way Bernie Made Off (with their parents money) It is all criminal whether it is in or from the hood or glassy towers of the financia districts it is wrong.
Your college is built righ in the heart of the "hood" taking away playgrounds and other things you take for granted ... Many of those "hood rats feel entitlled to take what you leave around so carfelessly because they assume you have the insurance or other resources from Mother and DAd to replace it.
