Take What You Need and Go

Adam Green’s New Yorker story about Apollo Robbins, a pickpocket who is not a thief, is A+ and you should read it ANYWAY this doesn’t have to do with pickpocketing (OR DOES IT), and I think it’s smart:

“Everyone said, ‘He’s awfully flighty — he jumps from job to job,’ ” Robbins recalled. “But I would take what I needed and go. I figured I’ve only got so much time.”
