" I creep through your yard. Getting paid out for your Brand New cars, " he says.
" But I can't lie, " he continues, and goes on to opine that " graft life" - His criminal Existence - is " hard".
" Spend half your time sitting behind bars, " he adds.
McEwan, of Barncroft Drive, Seacroft, was sentenced alongside His accomplices, who cannot be named due to their age, on 4 February.
