    Payday loans offer budget-conscious people access to cash at times when it is most needed. For people living from paycheck to paycheck, this type of loan is important. A payday loan is a short-term loan that essentially funds emergency situations, such as car repairs, unexpected bills, or something else. The loans are intended to help people, but then some people doesn't realize the importance of it, some of them would resort to criminal acts rather than turning to this kind of financial resourse. Although some may not want to go this route, thinking that they might create something they will regret down the road, it's nothing compared to being caught doing something as outrageous as stealing. One of the world's largest jewel heists took place on Thursday, December 4th, as four thieves entered Harry Winston boutique in Paris and took off with diamond rings, gem-studded bracelets and other jewelry worth $180 million. The thieves, who were dressed in women's clothing and wigs, busted in close to closing time and rummaged through the store in record time. Paris' Harry Winston boutique was also robbed last year where three thieves, who were never caught, took off with $28.4 million worth of jewels. The December 4th robbery is currently under investigation. French authorities say it isn't likely the thieves will be able to sell the gems taken through traditional outlets because of the high profile of the heist. This further proves that during any severe economic commotion, there's an increase of crimes like robberies because people become desperate to obtain even the smallest amount of extra cash. If you're in desperate need of extra money, don't do something horrific. Instead, be heroic when it comes to your finances and make a better move; get a payday loan. You won't end up in jail for this one. Click to read more on http://personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog/2008/12/10/you-can-get-payday-loans-to-buy-christmas-gifts-with-rather-than-robbery/.
