Listen to your Wife

This is actually a few stories roled into one. A thief stole some stuff and then sold it to a local merchant at cut throat rates. The merchant then sold it at a good profit. One day he left some stolen merchandize at home and his wife found it. She realized what it was, and yelled at him to stop selling stolen merchandise. He didn't listen and went out with his ill gotten goods. He was promptly picked up by the police and summarily executed.
