When I lived in Pickering (go figure).... some little PUNKS hit my truck. They took about $4000 worth of stuff from it, including a top-of-the-line stereo system, complete with an in-dash DVD player, custom made Rockford Fosgate amp/sub, tools, movies, you name it!
It feels as though you've been violated. You feel kinda dirty about it.
Never did find out who...which is probably a good thing, cause I'd be facing 25-life for murder!
But as for your story...that's pathetic. Talk about Canada's DUMBEST criminals.
1) When you steal..DONT leave stuff in it's place
2) Try to make it less obvious, because the guy at the store pretty much knew who it was
3) They are lucky you didnt meet up with them...
I'm sorry but little PUNKS that steal really need to be taught a lesson. I can almost guarentee that if someone got caught stealing something and got their kicked... chances are they wont do it again.
It's sad how the world operates now, when parents can get charged for spanking their own children, and its next to impossible for kids to fail highschool. We need to stop BABYING these kids, and teach them about the real world... man oh man.
What would you boss do if he caught you stealing? Just make you put it back and warn you? Ummm.. NO!
I'm not very old, but the world needs to go back to the "old school" days of sleeping in the bed you make for yourself, no matter what the price.
