An arrest has been made in the case of the arson fires in my neighborhood (the one which claimed my 2 cars and a small part of my home)
It was a 20 year old punk kid.
he was burglarizing vehicles, then setting them on fire to hide the evidence.
one of the cars he set fire to - the fire didnt take and the flames went out in their infancy due to a light drizzling rain.
authorities were able to take fingerprints from the vehicle and run them through a computer
within a day they had a name, and an address, for an individual with a prior criminal record.
they asked me to come in and identify an object which they feel was taken from my vehicle.
i went in and sure enough it was one of my personal belongings - the guy had several other belongings of others in his possession.
He is being held on $790,000 bond and is looking at a maximum sentence of 180 years in prison and a fine of nearly $1,000,000
what an idiot.
rumor has it he was steeling the items to pawn them or sell them online for Drug money... then he was burning the cars to hide the evidence.
he has managed to steal about $600 worth of stuff to sell.
wonder if it was worth it? this young mans life is over for a sum of just a few hundred dollars.
moron
