[citation][nom]gilbertfh[/nom]Criminals that are stupid like this guy are easy to catch but there are a lot of criminals out there that are very intelligent. I like to believe that most will eventually come to justice but I am not holding my breath. I was the fortunate victim of a stupid thief myself and had a motorcycle stolen. It was returned a few months later after one of the thieves attempted to sell it to an undercover police officer.[/citation]
Not everyone is as fortunate...
A man we knew robbed over $10,000 of stuff from our shop, and the police refused to do a damned thing (they ignored us because they thought we were trying to do a bogus insurance claim... WE DIDN'T HAVE INSURANCE!).
I hate how useless the police can be. The police have only ever done one thing right for me, and that's suggest a restrainign order.

[citation][nom]ElectroGoofy[/nom]Did he not steal items from some of the houses or cars? He got 53 items, yet broke into as many as 200 houses/cars.[/citation]
Could you imagine that he could actually sold most of stuff he stolen over time and those 53 items were just latest stuff and some remains ?

Wow.
So is a typical white crime embezzelment and ripping off people of their hard earned dollars?
Crime knows no skin color, and neither does racism

How many million xbox 360 thieves does it take to add up to one Madoff? When it comes to the seedier aspects of human nature no race, color, creed has the high moral ground.

Glad he got caught. I had a 42in LCD stolen just recently. I wish it had an option to connect to the internet so I could get it back...

The penalty for copying a movie is far worse a crime than this guy could ever do. He better not have any copied or ripped movies. Because he would really be up the creek then!!

[citation][nom]ProDigit80[/nom]For those guys they should initiate the death sentence again![/citation]
Yes...but for some reason the chance of 'error' is so high in a death sentence case that it takes about 20years or so to clear...and yet life sentencing is so simple?...why =/
