MLive contacted the sheriff’s office about this comment. Some items were recovered, and those items have been returned to the rightful owner.

There are some items that the suspect “can’t remember” who he gave the items to, that haven’t been recovered, therefore haven’t been able to be returned.

Althought we simpathize with the loss of your property, most readers were “impressed” by the creativity of the fellows efforts.

Yeah but real funny is they work with you on getting your stuff to you and call you and tell you they know where your stuff is but it never seems to make it back to but when he goes to walmart to steal a computer to replace mine he tells the police and they call me and ask if i want it is what really kills me but now that he has stolen from walmart they have a bigger case now so i never hear back from on anything of mine and when you call them to find out whats going on and they dont return your call is what really gets to me and whats really bad is the person in jail has told them where my stuff is and who it was sold to and they call them and they promise over the ph they dont have it and they just believe it so you just kinda what is the deal but i do have all names of all the ppl it was pasted to and it may make its way back one day only god knows…Glad to see this has made peoples day but if it was you it would not be so funny…

The Christain thing to do would be to pray for him.Jesus loves him as much as He loves you. Atfer all “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.”

Proud Mother, I agree with you as well,” Our economy is in a sad shape and I find it extremely hard to believe that shoplifters are the root of all evil” It’s not like we were laughing at someone giving drugs to a baby or something, now grow up and stop getting so worked up over something so silly my goodness, he will pay for what he did maybe we were laughing becaus he got caught.

Oh and Tony, I’ll glady give him my adress, because I dare someone to try and rob my house. I will defend myself and my house anyway I can. Has anyone ever stopped to think about this man and how desperate he must have been to actually think to bring the t.v into the garden section and cut the wire fence with a bolt cutter? Nothing can justify shoplifting but maybe just maybe he felt like he no other way to support his family than to steal something he could sell? maybe not, but maybe, just maybe he was hurting a little more than any of us could ever have imagined.

While this does make the top of the world’s dumbest crimminal list it’s sad someone like this can slip the system and keep doing stupid things that end up costing the law abiding tax payer

Come on people-it is funny!!! I realize that what he did or intended to do was not acceptable but there is no reason getting so angry over finding humor in everyday life. I agree with k.c. that these people are going to do this no matter what we do. There is absolutely nothing wrong with laughing at the humor in life. Our economy is in a sad shape and I find it extremely hard to believe that shoplifters are the root of all evil. I do realize that in retail, shoplifters pose a serious problem, however we all need to lighten up and find some humor in the stupidity of some people.

Well, db and kc, why don’t you give your address so this criminal that keeps getting out of jail can visit your home and take whatever he wants!!

Then let’s see how funny it really is….of course it isn’t the cause of the economy. I NEVER stated that. But anyone with any type of even limited knowledge would HAVE to agree that increased shoplifting (which happens in a bad economy) only enhances the price increases. Of course, I’m sure you already know that since you are SO WELL INFORMED.

The very fact that you state “retailers should watch their customers better” just shows how little you really know. Perhaps you should get a job and try to “watch better” 35000 customer transactions per week!!! That doesn’t include the ones without paying….so kc, please enlighten the entire retail world how to do what you suggested. You are most likely one of the very people that “gets offended” when a sales clerk gets too close to you or asks if you need help.

If you don’t know what you are talking about then don’t pretend…it just shows through your statements and the very fact that you find STEALING funny.
