Tammy—I was just thinking the same thing as I believe you are saying. Wouldn’t it be ironic justice if some other thief cleaned out his home & all of his belongings while he was in jail.
it would be a shame if someone took advantage of knowing this loser was in jail and visited his home. they should charge him with driving while license suspended also.
I was home on 3/20 when either this man or the man riding passenger casually strolled up to my door, took the package, strolled back to the vehicle, and went on around the corner, headed to Harlington and Joshua Drive. Thanks to neighbors who have camera surveillance, a dvd of when the package was dropped off by the USPO and stolen was given to law enforcement. These neighbors are also going to locate the time they drove past our home with a stolen trailer while tossing my package box on the curb near the STOP sign.
This is why people should be alert to what is happening in their neighborhood and report these things! Good job!
It’s ashame How these people nobody expects to commit crimes like this,, be the main people stealing everything, open your eyes it’s people like him and his kind who are nobody’s preying on the weak,,
this may be same guys stealing trailers!
Thank you to the Citizen that was smart and alert enough to catch this low life…
