Pellet Guns and Electronic Items Taken During Burglary, One Suspect Cited

This is a press release from the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office. The information has not been proven in a court of law and any individuals described should be presumed innocent until proven guilty:

hcsoOn Saturday, April 30, 2016 at about 8:30 p.m., a Humboldt County Deputy Sheriff responded to a residence on the 3000 block of Delp Lane, Hydesville, for a burglary report. The deputy met with an adult male victim and an adult female victim. The male victim stated his residence was burglarized sometime during the day, and multiple electronic items and two Glock style pellet guns were taken. The electronic items include an Xbox, multiple Xbox games, a laptop, and an iPad.

The victims were able to trace one of the items, an Apple iPad, using the “Find My iPhone” app. The deputy was given this information and used it to trace the iPad to a location near the 400 block of Union Street in Arcata. Deputies confronted the suspect with the iPad and confirmed the iPad was indeed the one stolen. The suspect also had possession of the laptop. The suspect received a citation to appear in court for possession of stolen property. The iPad and laptop, with a combined value of $1,400, were later returned to the male victim. The other stolen items were not located.

Anyone with information for the Sheriff’s Office regarding this case or related criminal activity is encouraged to call the Sheriff’s Office at 707-445-7251 or the Sheriff’s Office Crime Tip line at 707-268-2539.

That is exactly what I was thinking. Break into someone’s house and steal their property and you get a flipping ticket now. Absolutely ridiculous. So where is the incentive NOT to be theifing douchebag? Like the people doing this kind of crap are going to be deterred by a frigging citation with the ‘promise’ to appear in court clause.

Been there busted that

The only incentive that works to make them NOT be a thieving douche bag is when they break into a house and find themselves looking in the business end of the homeowner’s gun and the very last thing they see is a bright flash.

That’s the only incentive that works other than a size 9 shoe up their kazoo.

There is absolutely no incentive for these guys to stop stealing and breaking into houses repeal proposition 47 and put these creeps where they belong behind bars we need people to complain to law-enforcement complaint to the county supervisors and ultimately complain to the governor to repeal proposition 47

So, not long ago a thief rips off homeowner, homeowner shoots thief, homeowner goes to jail. Oh, and don’t forget that thief is now suing homeowner.

In the new world order, there is no such thing as private property. Get used to it.
