Or it could be a more physical approach of breaking and entering and theft. Either way, your job requires you to be aware of your surroundings or have a keen mind.

Suggested Characteristics

Criminals might seem like villains on the surface, and many of them are villainous to the core. But some have an abundance of endearing, if not redeeming, characteristics. There might be honor among thieves, but criminals rarely show any respect for law or authority.
