The burglary vocation: the luxury-apartment scam and the B&E crews

timeline_event

pivotal · addiction era, B.S.

When: the Percocet/Demerol years, part-time alongside the Sorkin work
What: Gately crewed with Fackelmann and Kite on a rent-and-strip-luxury-apartment scam (rent a furnished apt on forged ID, fence the furnishings, camp and get high until eviction, repeat), Gately usually the one who fronted the rental. Separately he found his "real B&E vocation," working heavy-merchandise and 4×4 lifting for two lesbian pharmaceutical-cocaine addicts running a house-cleaning/key-copying/burglary operation in Peabody and Wakefield, as his taste for violence diminished from remorse.
