Very sad. Sometimes relatives are the worst.

Only 7? He should've at least gotten 15 in my opinion. But that's just me. I would never steal from my parents, I've been raised better than that.

He plea bargained on a "transporting stolen property across state lines " charge --- 7 years. He'll probably be out in 5.. The parents probably did not want to file theft charges against him because that would have been 25 years.

Most likely they are wealthy and will just deduct the 1.9M$ from his inheritance. They probably paid for his lawyer, too.

I would have worked him over with a rubber hose.

Court documents show the stolen items included...1,250 U.S. .86-ounce silver Morgan dollars


.7736 troy ounces per Morgan. The court probably should have done some fact checking on that one, or else he stole some interesting Morgans.

US legal system...grr...

FLAWED LEGAL SYSTEM! Dealers are getting killed after shows and their shops broken into. 7 years is a joke. He stole that much from his parents. Imagine a stranger.

Pretty unusual amount of detail for a news article. But one thing I don't quite get, how can 115 silver bars add up to 100 ounces?

It could have meant 115 hundred-troy-ounce bars, as in "115 silver bars weighing 100 ounces each".
