In his grandfather’s time, a crow might heist a bank and get away with only $20 or whatever he could grab up in his beak, which sometimes amounted to nothing more than a brochure or a stack of post-it notes, but thanks to computers and telephone wires (which gave Henri the perfect place to spy on tellers and learn their computer passwords), he was able to get away with millions each and every time.
Ah, excellent.
I was going to say “I love this if only for the use of the word burgle”. Then I read the sentence and it only got better.
Burgle is a good word, isn’t it? My computer’s dictionary even throws the word “humorous” into the definition. Hard to go wrong with a word like that.
