    An elderly woman told the police that,as she entered a restroom,she was pushed by a woman behind

her.A few minutes later,as she was about to pay for a moustache remover at a nearby store,she

discovered that her wallet was missing from her purse. Apparently the woman who had bumped into her

had cleverly stolen her wallet. This type of theft is called pickpocketing.

    Perhaps an even more harmful kind of theft is known as housebreaking,or burglary. After such a

breaking,the victim.s often report a feeling of violation (侵害).They seldom regain the comfort and

security level they used to have in their home. They constantly feel like they are being watched. They feel

that if they go out,the burglars will come in again. They feel uncomfortable when they are at home or not

at home.

    Thieves have no shame. They will steal from anyone that they think is weak. Of course,that means the

elderly are their frequent victims. Some thieves are very clever; some are very lucky. All of them make an

honest person's life more difficult.

    Imagine that:a world with no larceny( 盗窃),a world where you can park your bicycle unattended on

the sidewalk,or leave your purse unattended in your shopping cart.Is this only a dream? Some say that if

you can dream about it,it can happen.
