By having no debt, you're at the losing end of the monetary inflation that policymakers forced upon us in the 80s 90s and 00s.

Apologies for drifting further off topic..

OK...thanks....

I seriously doubt that anyone would think a car thief is like Robin Hood. Remember, Robin Hood shared his wealth with other poor people. I doubt that any car thieves will do that.
