It's honestly more like eating the good ones and throwing away the few rotten apples, and then refusing to buy any more from the same supplier in future to avoid their rotten ones entirely. / pedantic

I'm fairly convinced that someone intended to rob my place some time ago. A woman clad in black turned up at my door one night (probably figured no-one was home because all the main lights were off, or she was just desperate, heh) and started messing around with the lock. Hearing this taking...
