Things you need to answer determine how you got into the business. since you are good it won't be for profit, even if it later turned that way. maybe you found out about a scheme to cheat people out of all their money, or if you want to go grand, someone overthroing the government. when did you decide to make it your business. what did you leave behind? did you leave a family, job, or cardboard box to pursue the job? why is he a noble theif? Why is it ok to steal plans and classified documents but not the jeweled necklace? Is it about respect or is it not practicle (you don't have a fence)? What is your means of getting what you want? how does your partner help out? does he break in in the middle of the night, or does he scout for you? are you the scout? what were your past jobs?
