    Such a shame he was released. The least they could have done is make him do mandatory work to start paying for my repairs and for everyone else whose property he harmed.

    $11,000 bond? What a joke. The number of people he victimized and a number of these victims who live paycheck to paycheck and cannot afford to repair their vehicle. This is what our justice system does? Don’t expect him to return for court…
