Dash titles Part 2 of his series "Stealing Became a Way of Life". He describes not only Rosa Lee's history of theft, but also how she taught her 10-year-old grandson to steal.

"Like a skilled teacher instructing a new student, the 54-year-old Rosa Lee told the boy what to do. "Pretend you're trying it on. Don't look up! Don't look around! Don't laugh like it's some kind of joke! Just put it on. Let Grandma see how you look."

The boy slipped off his old coat and put on the new one. It was too big. Rosa Lee whispered, "Now put the other one back on, over it." She pushed down the new jacket's collar so that it was hidden.

"What do I do now?" the boy asked.

"Just walk on out the door," Rosa Lee said. "It's your coat."
