A reminder for thieves

Sun., April 28, 2013

Would the thief or thieves who stole my dad’s tools and toolbox from his yellow Dodge pickup please return them? These tools and toolbox have sentimental value to the family.

Didn’t your parents teach you:

1) Thou shalt not trespass on private property without permission from the owner.

2) Thou shalt not steal personal property.

3) Thou shalt receive punishment and severe consequences for stealing.

4) Thou shalt have a good medical plan for injuries occurred during theft of personal property.

Think before you steal again. You were lucky this time; the next time you may need your medical plan for your injuries and could become permanently disabled. This would be a good reminder for your stupid actions.
