Stealing Dogs for Profit



Step 1.  Steal a dog from the upper West Side
Step 2.  Return dog for reward
Step 3.  Throw self on the mercy of God when the police show up
Step 4.  Fail.  Cops there for overdue library books.

I've been a big fan of The Moth Podcast ever since my friend Michael told me about.
It's a live storytelling competition available on Itunes free.
All kinds of folks step up in front of a big crowd to share important life-changing stories of things they experienced.
It's really a great program.
The stories are sometimes hilarious, like the story of the guy who went to the bullfights with Ernest Hemingway and ended up in the ring and sometimes painful like the lady who struggled with her sexuality and coming out to her family.

I really enjoyed this story about a kid in Spanish-Harlem who stole dogs from the rich part of town so he kid collect the reward money.
