I spotted and overheard people taking items that they had no intention of paying for when I still lived out back in the van. More than once, I caught wind of some braggart boasting of their multiple trips to swindle parts from the owner. While that did not have any particular impact on me at the time, it's proven one thing that I continue to take pride in. Keeping my head on a swivel, hiding in the shadows – there's a lot that can be observed living like that. Even if it can be a bit taxing.
