I got burglarized last year. Little #$#%@ took EVERYTHING of value. Never found out who they were. Worst of all they took my fathers college ring which he gave to me when he was dying of terminal cancer. Also took a lot of other sentimental stuff that I'll never see again. I hope they get what's coming to them.

I almost caught them to. I went to all the local pawn shops, and cash for gold shops in town. While driving I remembered I had an 1803 Penny that was taken. I drove past a coin shop and figured what the heck, I'll give it a shot.

Walked in, the guy at the front desk asked how he could help me. I asked if he had any 1803 Pennies. He pulled one out from under the counter and laid it down on the glass. "I just got it this morning about 3 hours ago". I was extremely surprised... I took a look at it and it was indeed MY PENNY! I knew this because I had put certain scratches in it when I was young trying to clean it. As soon as I told him what happened he got all defensive and didn't even want to help describe who sold it to him. I then had to buy my own property back because I sure wasn't going to leave there without the evidence since the owner seemed so shady.

Got the cops to go by. No survelliance cameras of course. Only info they got was it was a young guy in his early to mid 20's. Possibly white or hispanic. And could have had a girl with him.

That's about as far as I got... I did all the footwork and searching myself.

Karma will get them in the end. I'm sure my Dad will make sure of it...

Burglary today, murder tomorrow. You let these cretins out in society and they will learn to confront an owner and someone innocent will die.

What fricken school are you referring, Adult Education? As far as jail goes, We the People don't even want to pay to incarcerate the thieves never-mind the parents. Vote responsibility and change the system.
