Day 25: Infant Thievery--Part Two

                At twenty I moved out of my parents’ house, to a completely different city.  I told them I had a job as a pizza deliver guy.  I didn’t though, I was really stealing again.
                I tried getting back into the game too fast.  For the past fifteen years I had only been able to pickpocket and accomplish petty theft behind my parents’ backs.  This took a toll on my thieving ability.  Immediately after moving out, I tried to rob a high-end bank.  I barely made it out without being caught.  A couple more minutes inside the vault and I definitely would have.
                After that close call, I decided to slowly ease back into the thieving game.  It took me a while to get back to the same skill level I was when I was a toddler, because one: toddlers learn extremely quickly, and two: I hadn’t done anything big in fifteen years.  So yeah, it took a while to get back to where I used to be. 
                After a year though, I was cracking some pretty big banks.  I was a millionaire after fourteen months.  After two years, I had reached the one-billion-dollar mark.  I was getting bored.  Everything was just too easy. 
                Thankfully, my parents decided to help out with my boredom.  They learned I didn’t actually have a job and they heard about this international thief stealing from the best banks in the world.  And guess what they did.  They reported me to the police, who in return reported me to the FBI, who in turn reported me to every agency in the entire world.
                I am quite proud to say that it took two whole months to catch me.  But eventually they did, and I am glad of that because it brought on my greatest challenge yet.  Escaping prison.
               This was very different from breaking into banks.  One of the greatest differences being, I relied on sneaking into banks when no one was around.  In prison, you are constantly surrounded by inmates and prison guards, making it extremely difficult to move around unseen.  But I resolved to break out of prison and to do it as quickly as possible.
