These low lifes need to get a 9 to 5 job just like the next fellow! Then you won’t have to steal and rob!
These thugs just need to be locked up. Once a thief, always a thief.
Its a shame that instead of looking for a job, these two decided to take what they wanted. Some jail time in prison will make them think about what they are doing to their lives and the lives of the people they stole from.
Thanks for putting these “2 LOCAL MEN” behind bars, now go after the drug dealers and others in organized crime…
hahahaha….so stupid they forgot to get gas. Somebody please put them out of their own misery. I hate ignorance and glad they got caught. I knew some of the people with stolen items and these guys are lucky they didnt catch them. wouldve been some bones found around 7 devils. lol. I hope everyone with things that were stolen gets their stuff back.
