I don't know if you guys are joking around or not, but bashing that guy's windows in is pretty stupid whether you got caught or not. You don't know as a fact he was selling stolen property. Like you said he was speaking with an accent and you didn't understand everything he said. Maybe he didn't understand everything you said either. The fact that he might have asked you if you were going to do something doesn't make him guilty of anything and if it was your store and somebody had said yes to a question like that you might get pretty mad, too. I don't know...I think people think they earn the right to take some kind of pointless justice into their own hands too much. Even if he was selling stolen games it's best to just stay out of it and mind your own business. It's not like he wouldn't know who reported him to the better business bureau, either. Sorry about my little rant, but it just made me think how people make assumptions and think they have the right to do all kinds of shit to eachother. I'm not saying any of you are like that. It just made me think of it. Imagine if you were this guy and you went to open your store in the morning and found it trashed because of some misunderstanding due to a language barrier. Or because some kids felt it was their job to uphold the law by breaking the law. Maybe he's trying to feed his family and doing whatever he can to do so. It's better than selling drugs.

I laughed at the story because I thought it was genuinely funny, but shit like that happens to people everyday and you have to learn to just shrug it off and go on your way. Bring it up later for laughs, but other than that there's really no point in remembering it.
