Sermon Anecodotes?

I'm preaching the sermon this coming Sunday on the Eighth Commandment: "You must not steal." (Christie shared a dynamite message last week on the Seventh Commandment ("You must not commit adultery."). It will soon be available online for all to hear. Click here to check out this and previous messages.)

Does anyone have any good anecdotes on stealing and/or restitution after a theft? I've got a good Scripture base and now am seeking to fill it out with a few more real-life examples. It could be anything from shoplifting to horse thieves to the old "finders keepers, losers weepers" phrase.

Feel free to drop me an e-mail or post in the comments section on the blog.

I was thinking the exact same question! Due date?!?! Congratulations if so.
Hope all well with you. I know one story of a 90 odd year old woman that was held at gun point in her car and asked to hand over her money. She ended up ministering to the young man and talking to him about Jesus.....awesome story. It was on a Bethel Church, Redding, CA podcast.

Apologies to those of you who may have tried listening to Christie's message at the link on this posting. There has been a technical difficulty and it might not make it up there, at least not in full. Bummer...but that just means you might have to come to church to hear her. :-)
