Plot summary
Earl tries to surprise Randy by giving him a Ford Ranchero, but it is stolen. Earl tries to get it back, but the thieves think Earl has crossed over from being a crook to being a citizen / victim, so he is no longer covered by the criminal code of ethics of not stealing from each other. Earl struggles with the idea of going to the police, despite Joy's protests that snitches are the lowest of the low. When he does, he ends up being labelled as a snitch everywhere he goes, until he eventually decides to fight fire with fire.
