Not always. A guy I worked with told a story about him and his friends breaking into an abandon apartment complex that the government had taken over to make into low cost housing. It was actually brand new but unfinished. The company building it went bankrupt. He just out right described the crime how they broke in by sawing a hole in one of the roofs. He told how the security guard was in on it, who had brand new kitchen counters in their house from the place how they couldn't get the HVAC units they stole to work so they threw them away at the local land fill. He told about how since the US government was running it the FBI was investigating the crime. He said they all burned their shoes and clothing out of fear. He was very nonchalant about it like he was describing a fishing trip. I never knew him to make up stories, maybe to save his ass or something but not for fun. What he said was probably true . Telling a bunch of random guys you work with something like that had to be on of the stupidest things I've ever seen. I never even thought about turning him in but that doesn't mean someone else didn't. How many people did he brag about his burglary to? He loved being a gang member and that stupid life. Even after a punk from another gang hit him in side of the head with a hammer. Our boss told us he might not be coming back to work as he might die. No one was shocked or even much noticed that he was in on stuff like that. It took decades before I really thought about how damned stupid telling that story was. We were all in the ghetto working so it was just day to day life to hear something like that.
