At my work there is a bloke there who told us that when he was 15, he used to help out an friend of a friend...18 years years older than him. He used to employ the kid like Thurs - Sat nights helping him with removals. The kid didn't realise it but he was helping the guy rob places! As the kid had a sweet tooth he used to pay the kid one...mars bar for each place they "moved".
The guy told him not to tall anyone about the removals as he said other kids would be jealous of the kid and steal his job!
Would you have realised back then what was going on?

@Wol62 I mean, I never got people like that tricking me into helping them steal stuff, but I fell for every "gotcha" joke ever conceived of on the playground.
@LordShadowfire Yeah, totallt get that. But that kid even stole a gold chain from one of the houses he thought he was helping with removals. The guy who was using him found out and was like "kid you are in a lot of trouble cause the owners are compliaing, but I can smooth it over" he asked the kid how much money he got for his 15 birthday, the kid told him £60...the guy said if he gave him £70 that couple would sell it to him! As the chain was worth £300. the kid though he was getting a good deal and staying out of trouble, so he handed over the £70. Turned out the thing was really only worth £15 back then!
