I read about that in the paper this morning.

1. Nice work by the Feds.

2. What a dumbass!

I wonder if there were extra charges because of forged documents. Fake item one, forge LOA second.

I think the same exact thing, every single time I hear one of these stories. Very frustrating, to say the least...

One difference is he was asking for $200,000.

Two is someone went to the police.

Three is many robbers have learned that that you get a way a string of burglaries doesn't mean you get away with them forever. Justice sometimes means being caught eventually not right away. Just ask Bonnie and Clyde.

I hope he gets passed around the pen like a pack of Tic-Tacs.

Hope he's still got the glove. He should be doing quite a bit of "catching" over the next 20 years..
