Seems Cantonment has many thieves, like on jacks branch and river annex.
Gonna be a bummer not to be able to drive that Beamer ’cause your butt will either be in jail, paying restitution or hopefully, the car taken away by your parents. That felony does not look good on a resume’ but then most thieves don’t need one. What a pity.
19 years old, drives a BMW, I can’t even say that I’m surprised.
I guess Mom & Dad quit paying for the BMW and he had to do something to make a payment….
Let’s all go to work this morning in order to buy tools for our trades so that young BMW-driving punks can steal from us! I don’t think so.
Remember when Big Brother told parents they could no longer discipline their children?
So glad the tools were recovered. Please lock your stuff up; it’s your stuff.
Drives a BMW, stealing from others… that is all I had to hear. Making his parents proud, who I’m sure is paying for the BMW.
