Kim's Jewels. Gone in a crack!

If you were like me, you would find it difficult to evoke sympathy on hearing the news that Kim Kardashian has been robbed at gunpoint. The thieves broke into her luxury Paris apartment last night and relieved her of her rings, bracelets and necklaces to the tune of a cool ten million dollars. All in matter of fifteen minutes.
This was a daring heist where the crooks were dressed up as police. They knocked on the door the building, tied up the security guard, then knocked on Kim's door, tied her up and took off with the swag.
Reportedly one of the rings was worth five million dollars. Which brings me to my point of having no sympathy for the lady.
I have spent much of my life around poor people: our fellow denizens of planet earth in India, Africa, Mexico and other places. Kim's ring would have fed one of their villages for a LIFETIME.
Not that I am advocating robbing the rich to give to the poor but what happened last night does underscore the wisdom of Christ's words: "Lay not up treasures on earth where burglars can break in and steal, but lay up treasures in Heaven where you will have eternal reward."
A movie that I can recommend is called "Flawless" It stars Demi Moore and Michael Caine. Both pull off the world's greatest diamond heist. Neither are caught. The suspenseful end is what happens to the prize diamond after the whole pile has been recovered by the police. Sufficient to say that a lot of poor people ended up being cared for!
Jubilate.
