About this title

From the Author:

The Only Book Of Its Kind
License To Steal is the first book to debunk the myths surrounding the Gypsies and take an objective, unsentimental look at the Gypsy Mafia, whose many crimes create a negative image for all Romani. Through historical data, true stories from police records of outrageous capers, and heart-breaking interviews with frustrated victims of Gypsy crime, you will see how these crimes have become a multibillion dollar industry from which no one is safe. You will also learn how Gypsies avoid being held accountable for their criminal activities by brilliantly manipulating the criminal justice system, the news media, and academicians who pry into their lives. There are only two reasons for not enjoying or benefiting from this book. For one, you are a Gypsy. For another, you were comfortable with the more romantic, mythical image of the Gypsies, and now find the truth about them to be an unpleasant burden.
