Getting caught stealing a car is going to get you in a lot of trouble, but in this case, prison time could be better than facing the bad karma from the incident in Illinois.

Illinois Thief Tries Stealing Car From Local Priest

What's that old saying, "don't do the crime, if you can't do the time." If you break the law, there's a very good chance that you're going to get caught. Then you will have to face the consequences. It's never worth the penalty for that kind of work.

Besides, facing things like jail time and fines, there is something much worse. That's karma. I definitely believe in it. If you're going to do bad things to other people, then you'd better be ready to face the karma that is coming your way.

According to Fox 32 Chicago...

An 18-year-old is in custody after allegedly attempting to steal a priest's car while it was parked outside a Near North Side church on May 21, police said.

 

The victim, a Catholic priest, stopped to check the mail at Holy Name Cathedral Parish before joining some of the nuns for a lunch reservation at around 11:25 a.m.

So this kid tries to steal a car, and the victim is a priest. The suspect had better be ready for the karma police to come his way. Stealing from a priest has to be rated pretty high on the bad karma list.

The priest does need a little advice in this situation. He left his vehicle unattended, running, with the keys in the ignition and unlocked. Those are all big no-nos, even with God on your side.
