Thick as thieves?
Ever wondered where this phrase originated from? People like this obviously:

Re: Thick as thieves?
Years ago a local likely lad, now deceased, broke into a factory by forcing open a skylight and then dropping into the room below.
He then found the room to be locked, he had nothing with him to open it as he had left his housebreaking implements on the roof and there was nothing in the room to enable him to climb on and get back out of the skylight.
I think he spent the weekend trapped in that room and was nabbed by the cops when the factory opened for business on the Monday.

Re: Thick as thieves?
another interpretation is that he knows not much will happen to him even if he does get caught.
