Guess what? Since we are all sinners, and if we have accepted Jesus as our personal savior, and have accepted that we would be lost without him, and follow him with our whole hearts, there will be a ton of "sinners" in heaven.

If the crooks in question have truly repented and found forgiveness in the eyes of God then yes it will still be heaven with them allowed. All of us have told a lie before. Would heaven be heaven if God allowed liars into his kingdom?

Well, it's not really heaven if people burgle you there. But then again, what is it that they would be stealing; two for one coupons?
Now, if you are talking about people being crookes on earth, well, the answer most likely is that you won't have to spend too much time around them (since being around them would be unpleasant and therefore contradictory to the purpose of heaven.) Then again, if you are walking around with a really hot soulmate, and you are so much in love with that person you can't stop feeling like a bottle overflowing with joy, are you really going to be paying all that much attention to who is around you? The answer is probably 'not likely'. Just like when you are feeling good you don't notice too much of the bad around you, feeling pretty darn great in heaven is probably going to occupy 99.9% of your thoughts (with that small .01% being devoted to learning stuff: like who killed JFK and how does the clapper really work.

God is the one who judges, but He says thou shall not steal. So I don't know if crooks are going to make it into Heaven....unless they repent and ask forgiveness.

only God's saints will enter Heaven......
for sure all former sinners.....
who are free of the stains of sin.....
will be permitted to enter Heaven.
when one is born again, Jesus has paid your sin debt and you will be white as snow before God.
so, you see, it depends on the person's personal relationship with Jesus Christ.....
not on his or her former occupation.
Please read John 1:1-16
