I loathe thieves. Force these men to work hard labor to earn the money and restitute the family they violated. Then, teach them the plumbing skills they need to know in order to fix the problem they've created leaving them with a useful trait that benefits society. A pipe dream? Yes. Pun intended? No.

Strange. A Matthew Koenigsfeld, 20 years old, was charged on 8-22-12 with receiving stolen property. His bond on that charge was only $5,000. But I cannot tell from casenet where he ever bonded out. And now, according to this article he got arrested for burglary. Oh well, maybe there are 2 guys, 20 years old, named Matthew Koenigsfeld, getting arrested for stealing stuff. Because if this is the same guy, he got arrested 10 days apart for about the same thing.
