THIEVES LIKE US

Juliet (Jules) Deacon had a gift. She had the intuitive ability to unlock things. Whether it was school locker, a password-protected bank account or almost anything in between. Jules discovered this talent very early on, and kept it to herself until, in her early twenties, she fell in love and eventually teamed up with Travis Dupree, a young thief working with an art dealer in New Orleans, breaking into the homes of very wealthy private art collectors.

We all like Mr. Wolf... but why?

Some of what I am about to say is because I am a big "fanboy" of Quentin Tarantino's work, be it his writing, or his abilities as a director. This will probably have more context if you have seen the movie Pulp Fiction but hopefully I can set up the situation sufficiently enough ...
