What I see sad in this is that I personally knew 35 year old guy caught using two school girls (former students whose families were also personal friends of mine). All three of them confessed this had been happening for awhile. He mentally scarred them for life. He got two 10 years sentences; was allowed to serve them simultaneously (who in the world ever thought of such an insane idea?); and was let out after 6 years of good behavior.

And stealing copper gets 15 years? Don't get me wrong - I am all for the 15 years - but I wish the judge who gave this guy his 15 years would have been the one sentencing the creep who was out in 6 years (and most likely is back to his old tricks since it was found out after he was imprisoned that this was not the first time).

Wonder if the idiots who stole the bell got a little nervous an was feeling uneasy when the refinery got a copy of their Id an driver's license on that sell, lol....

Would they have really been that stupid to go in there with that bell an not expect any suspicion? An use their own ID if indeed a refinery does have a protocol for taking a copy of sellers identification an put the item in question on hold for a period until it clears via the police I would think anyway....

That would be typical in a Muslim country. It may be barbaric but it sure removes all doubt about who was a thief and who was not in the years after that.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Recently in our town a young couple dog-napped a bulldog and held it for ransom. Unfortunately, their animal care skills weren't very good and the dog died. They were caught, tried, and sentenced to 15 years for "excessive animal cruelty". Meanwhile, in another case, a school teacher was tried and convicted for sexually abusing a student. She got 6 years. HUH?

After reading numerous cases of this type and with similar outcomes, it is clear that we live in an absolutely insane world. Thank heavens we have rational people in the PM collecting community!
