    Always keep a couple crackheads. Also, make sure you filter your crackheads. You want the ones who’ll help you clean your garage for $10, not the ones who will clean out your garage for about $10 down at the pawn shop.

    Promote a positive environment, help turn the crackden into a crackhome.

      You joke, but the crackhead hooker next door to me in Chicago would clean my place, top to bottom, for a 20 spot. Wouldn’t dare steal anything because I was good money for a regular rock.

        I’ve known a few like that. Why I joke about it. I knew a guy, if he could have kept his shit together, he coulda had his own damn shop. Dude could fix about anything mechanical, get it done quicker than some of the shops around the place.

        Saw plenty of 'em working in construction, too. Keep it together long enough to make some decent cash, disappear for awhile, come back when they needed more. You got used to rotating faces, got to know which ones would try to screw you over. Too many times you’d see one come up alone and find out the buddies they had didn’t make it through the last.
