    I agree with Oversight. We not only pay to feed and house the criminals, we had to pay for the building repairs (we pay for the insurance, etc.). But then, it is the hard-working tax payers who even think about the consequences when things like this happen. Evidently, we’re not paying them enough to stay home! Those checks need to stop NOW. Either we pay them to stay home, or we feed and house them in jail!

    Yep… easy money for this bunch; NOT! The taxpayers will now foot the bill to house and feed these two, while their buddy is running loose.

    @Melodies4us My thought exactly? Don’t these people realize that there are camera’s everywhere?There is no way someone is going to get away with this kinda crime. I just can’t fathom how utterly stupid and bold criminals are these days.
