Petty crimes are to be expected, just the same as major ones should be…its when I see the ages of the people commiting them though.. 😬 I’m glad the current administration is entertaining more emphasis on asylums and committing the mentally unwell rather than “clogging” our already overburdened CJS!
Lucky Lady , could have definitely have went another way, folks in the country don’t generally tolerate thieves ! To say petty crimes are expected ? What planet are you from ? Don’t be looking a break at my house, I promise I’m not going to be very understanding when you’ve got tools or weapons and no business there.
Agreed! Too many people today don’t take life seriously enough.
