0:00.0	If you're like me, you get a little bummed out after the holidays. But there's no reason not to treat
0:05.2	yourself and your loved ones a little bit all year round. And the good news is that murder sheet
0:10.2	listeners can embrace the finer things without breaking the bank. All thanks to our wonderful
0:14.8	sponsor, Quince. Quince is a game changer when it comes to everyday luxury. Their pieces are high value and excessively priced.
0:24.6	Take their iconic Mongolian cashmere sweaters that start at $50. They've also got Italian leather
0:31.3	handbags, washable silk shirts, and European linen sheet sets. Those are the sorts of things that make life just a little
0:39.2	bit more luxurious. And remember, by supporting our sponsors, you're supporting us and allowing
0:44.4	us to do this work. I love my Mongolian cashmere sweaters. I got the black V-neck sweater and a dark

1:45.7	Content warning. This episode contains discussion of murder, including the murder of a child.
1:50.5	Jewel thieves have shockingly great public relations. There's something our culture just loves about
1:56.5	the idea of a dashing miscreant, using his or her wits to abscond into the night with a millionaire's
2:02.7	glittering trinkets. Perhaps that's not too surprising. The hypothetical scenario I just described
