@ Wondering: One section of copper pipe that has been bent and flatten looks the same as all of the rest. Hard to ID one from the other. I knew a person in Pensacola who had bought a set of copper gutters from an old building that was being torn down. He was going to put them on another old home he was restoring. They were in a building and they were removed (stolen), flatten and sold for scrap. The worse with that case and the case here–they only receive pennies on the dollar for the cost on the material and the repair cost. To bad the ones here didn’t didn’t get hung up on something and be found under the building in the spring time.

It might be time to bring back that person or family that lived in a mobile home on the property & looked after things security-wise there. That, & maybe a high security fence with razor wire, guard dogs, security cameras (some of the 20 or so cameras in the DMV main room could work) or an armed security guard/nightwatchman.

The time of leaving anything of value unattended is over with, gone, just a quaint memory of a time before we had so much drugheaded human vermin running loose.

Throw The Book- The Whole “NINE YARDS” ! (1) Theft (2) Trespassing (3) Unauthorized Use Of A Public Building … Now The State & Federal Charges , (4) Improper Disposal Of A Hazardous Waste (when the freon was released from copper tubes it went into the air – it (the system) should have been vacuumed … Federal Crime)

I don’t care about the freon fine, although I know the environment is IMPORTANT!…I say it should be a FELONY against the public and give them Tall time!!!!

Is it only me or does Molino have way too much crime for a small farming community? Apparently there is a rotten underbelly here that only surfaces to satisfy greed at the expense of others.

We lost service to 3 rooms for the museum, the 2 meeting rooms, kitchen, and the community center office, in all 5 units are affected.

I was just wondering why the law enforcement officials in this area can’t seem to identify the places where the thieves are selling their ill-gotten-gains. Are there so many of these places that they can’t visit them all or are there only less than 10 such companies which buy the stolen copper wire? If the latter, why do these thefts continue? Can’t the law enforcement officials visit each one and identify who brought in the copper tubing and then go and arrest them? What is so difficult about this? Why does it continue? I know why the thieves steal it – to get money to buy meth or whatever, I just can’t understand why its so difficult to arrest them. Would some law enforcement official like to respond to this? I’m sure we’re all wondering why it continues..Thank you.

Thieves are theives, which means that they are looking for a free and easy ride. Of course they’ll steal from the elderly, kids, and well meaning, law abiding citizens like you or me. There is no honor among thieves, no moral ground to stand on for these people. They need two things: (1.) To be caught, and (2.) our prayers.
