For some reason, this makes me think of my theory that RPGs teach young 
people that it's OK to break into someone's house to steal their stuff if 
they can get away with it.  I mean, really, how many of them do you not go 
into every house possible and check every closet, drawer, cabinet, 
etc?  Most of the houses are usually deserted anyway, for some reason.

I remember playing one of the Ultima games and trying to take something 
while someone was in the house.. I had to fight my way past the summoned 
guards, my charisma dropped, the whole nine yards.  I figured it was just 
easier to load a previous saved game.

Speaking of games, I'm back to Diablo 2 for a while, now that patch 1.04 is 
out.  Gonna try to find my Jabazon one of those Lances.
