Man: So, it’s better to lock things up.
Woman: Yes, better safe than sorry. That’s why I always set a burglar alarm.
Man: Is this like a fire alarm?
Woman: Well, yes except it’s for burglars, thieves, people who steal things. Now, if someone tries to steal my jewelry, the burglar alarm will go off.
Man: Do you really think that if you didn’t lock up your valuables, that someone would try to steel them?
Woman: I’m afraid so.
Man: I wouldn’t steal them.
