Helene Bours

If I were an Arab leader, I would never sign an agreement with Israel. It is normal; we have taken their country. It is true God promised it to us, but how could that interest them? Our God is not theirs. There has been Anti - Semitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault ? They see but one thing: we have come and we have stolen their country. Why would they accept that?
David Ben gurion
I hit ninth the first month, and to be in the top 10 in runs scored, that's putting in a lot of work. There was a stretch where I went 1 for 30 and I was hitting ninth. That's why stolen bases are not even important. It's getting over so guys can get you in.

One would have to assume it's been stolen by someone who has some sort of nefarious purpose for it.

Dennis Adams
You believe the records and charts were stolen by Ms. Buchanan and Ms. Crouch?

Charles Prouty
Quite often, when a horse is reported missing, it has either managed to get free and has run away or it turns out to be a civil matter involving some sort of boarding disagreement.

Gary Davidson
He can beat teams in so many ways, whether it be a stolen base, bunt or a homer, or with his glove. I think he'll play professional baseball.

Jimmy Fahrenholtz
It's like a jewel in the community. It has amazing artwork that has never been touched or tagged or stolen.
Margaret Mora
I very rarely have clients who want posed group shots before the wedding. They'd rather I capture the quiet moments -- a stolen kiss between the bride and groom before they enter their reception as a married couple.
James Levine
I thought our approach against Clifford was good. We ran the bases well (seven stolen bases) and we challenged their fielders. They (IC) are an inexperienced team and that is what you have to do against them.
Sean Bieterman
It is a complete outrage that my client has had to endure such physical and emotional distress following what should have been a straightforward, routine procedure. Not only does she live in constant fear of contracting a deadly disease, but she cannot remove these parts from her back. She will spend the rest of her life knowing that bones stolen from a corpse are in her body.
Kevin Dean
I had a book, which was stolen, the art of the life of the character, in which you present a whole life in three of four pages. I used that method.

Dr. Adamov is ready to come to the United States to fight these charges, and he wants to clear his name both in Russia and the U.S.. He's a great Russian patriot and has not stolen a penny.

Boston has many questions to answer. They have to convince me that they were working completely in good faith. Now they have the knowledge that they have acquired stolen artifacts. Are they worried?

The man's mouth dropped open. He was surprised I knew the ring was stolen.

Robby Delcastillo
I have a warrant out for this woman's arrest. This is stolen property. I want my dog back.
