Those Little Con-artists

As I was on the bus yesterday going to work, right across from CJS two teen-age boys get on the bus, okay, nothing unusual. The first one comes on, carrying a skate board, and gives his transfer to the bus driver, and sometime during the pass (whether intentionally or unintentionally) the transfer was dropped. No big deal, the bus driver picks it up and reads it, a second later he calls back to the first boy and says this transfer is three days old, do you have another one? By this time the second boy has showed his transfer and has started to walk to the back of the bus, and as the first boy passes the second a swift hand movement was made behind the skateboard and the first boy had a valid transfer. As he walked to the front of the bus he pretended to rummage around in his pocket looking for the proper transfer. When he "finds it" he hands it to the bus driver and all it well.

Okay so I think, a bus transfer, not that big a deal, he just didn't have the money on him. But what will happen to these boys next? Where will they be in 5 or 10 years?
