Introduction to a Life of Crime

We were out of town for the week-end.   Ben, age 11, and a friend were sent to my house to get a loaf of bread for Sarah.   Living across the field from each other, we often borrow food items.  The ADT alarm went off to Ben's great surprise, and he did not remember the password.   The phone rang and he answered it, "This is Ben Haug," he said, "and I just came to my Grandma's to get a loaf of bread. I am not going to steal anything."    Next the Sheriff arrived with gun drawn.   Ben said, "Aiden, you take the golf cart and go up to my house and tell my mom.   I'll stay here with the Sheriff."  Aiden lost no time in getting to Sarah!   All is well and they got the bread.
