Yep it's funny alright, but ya gotta love those young entrepeneurs in the 
land of Free Enterprise, it could have been worse Bill, he could have been 
dealing drugs :)

Just Say no Kid,  apparently he did and went into the music instrument 
reselling business instead.

I find it especially funny that he knew where his market was for his 
merchandise, shame on you for contributing to the delinquency of a minor buy buying 
stolen merchandise, I hope they arrested you for trying to Fence it back to 
Ringwald.   You should have admonished the child politely upon the greater virtues 
of honesty and integrity so he could have grown up to be a respectable 
musician. 

Cheers,
