So if you run out of caps for your cap gun and you’ve already spent the $10 you stole from your dads wallet then you don’t really have much choice but to steal them 🤔
LAZY DOG
True, true 🧐
Yea whenever something happen better ask kids. 😂😂😂
Kids knows everything 😂😂😂
Patrons stealing bar glasses and ashtrays? Good grief. What a heap of bogans.
The kids in the park at the beginning are so cute!!
Lol I was born in 1970!
Same with my mom. 1970
Jeez I thought ppl from back in the day were more honest.
No way, people have always been, well, people.
human nature , but today is far worse in many many aspects , kids that young today are watching things on smart phones that are for adults only and then doing it at school etc , my freind who works at schools tells me all about it and how shocked he was at what kids were up to , when i worked in security in the early 2000,s kids were selling herion etc on public trains throughout perth i saw it, their parents and family encouraged them being too young to be charged and that was just the tip of the iceberg and its worse now .
Another myth...🙂
@@closertothetruth9209 the kids selling drugs thing would have existed back then too. Although, essentially heroin and speed were so readily available from the shelves of a pharmacy, that there was less need for more powerful drugs.
Hear about it more these days I guess ….. larger population these days more Thevs but same per capater

Well if it's costing them millions then it's not so petty, is it?
Ivares Kesner Each act of theft is petty I think.
What's the name of that classic instrumental during the game of pool scene.
Oh well we are a nation of convicts
Well most of us are convict dependants
That $50 fine at 2:54 is equivalent to $593.86 today.
Little dobbers !!!!
always interesting, how shit the past really was once you scratch the surface.
Simpler times
Those incidents only declined in frequency to now because of lowering of testosterone levels among young males in general. People were more intelligent and morally cognent then, the youth.
Really, they were a lot better than now!
A lot of people think things were better in the past because when they were younger they didn’t realize how bad they were. Like people say child molestation is worse now, and that’s false. Or they say murder is worse now, that’s really false. Before the pandemic crime rate has been going down every single year for 50 years. He got better and better, but during that entire time people mentally thought it was actually getting worse and worse. That’s because people operate off of the motion and not off of fact.
But trying to convince somebody of that too often is like arguing with a three year old.
He stole thongs?
That little girl was so cute and the other two boys, though they are already grandparents. Say who never had been young once,eih?
Less trees and more people now.
It's not as bad today, but I'd say it's only because of better security. People are no better.
And these people vote.
no one wants that old junk
Proverbs 22:6 KJV
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Based bible quotations referencer commenter.
This was the most ridiculous part of the video. There are so many parents who have great children and also horrible children the same time. All raised the same way. So I guess the Bible is wrong.
And sorry, the crap like this is why I probably see people and CZcams always blaming the parents anytime a child does anything wrong.
McDonald’s don’t give napkins anymore with my takeaway so I’ll take some extra for the next drive through order.
Whats a takeaway
@@thenegativoneify drive through
A Sydney home was only $50,000.
Now it can go up to 1.2 million for a shit house built in the 60s
AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
In 1970 you could buy a house in Asquith for $9000
And the weekly pay was what? $40.
But the wages or much less than as well. In today’s dollars the average person earned about three dollars an hour according to the website I found. That’s based on today’s rates. What they were actually making in 1970s dollars was roughly $.50 an hour.
But imagine everything we have in life that they did not have them. Including good refrigerators and air conditioners and medical care. Some thing about humans seems to make us want to believe the past was so great and also that the present is so horrible.
