Since we're discussing criminal activity within films and 3-Iron in particular, there is a far worse criminal act within the film and one that affects a far larger percentage of the population worldwide, wife battering.
The subjegation and general treatment of wives and often girlfriends by a lot of men around the world is appalling and it is probably the largest of the silent crimes, I'm surprised you made no mention of this Howard. What is to blame for this second class treatment? religion has certainly played its part and of course it's one of those wonderful things that in a lot of cases is passed on from father to son. I found this abuse of the wife as a piece of property (or as I've heard women in general descibed, a piece of meat) far more unsettling and affecting than the burgleries.
Cheers Trev.
