If he was looking for where deer cross in his neighbor's yard, I really don't think the inside of a truck is a viable crossing point. If he would have wrecked the truck, either sober or drunk, (which Im sure he was since he went to buy beer) would he have waited for the police? I seriously doubt it. A thief is a thief and he has no business taking the personal property of another. The next time you go to WalMart, please leave your vehicle unlocked with the keys in the ignition. I'd like to know how you feel when someone takes your vehicle. Leave your house unlocked so someone can come inside and take what they want, everyone wants a clean toilet. Whether it's your County Commissioner's office or the County Jail, we need a clean place to sit. Oh Don. You said a lapse in judgment and he doesn’t deserve jail time?

F.S.S. states, "316.1975 Unattended motor vehicle.— (1) A person driving or in charge of any motor vehicle may not permit it to stand unattended without first stopping the engine, locking the ignition, and removing the key. A vehicle may not be permitted to stand unattended upon any perceptible grade without stopping the engine and effectively setting the brake thereon and turning the front wheels to the curb or side of the street. A violation of this section is a noncriminal traffic infraction, punishable as a nonmoving violation as provided in chapter 318. (2) This section does not apply to the operator of: (a) An authorized emergency vehicle while in the performance of official duties and the vehicle is equipped with an activated antitheft device that prohibits the vehicle from being driven; (b) A licensed delivery truck or other delivery vehicle while making deliveries; or (c) A solid waste or recovered materials collection vehicle while collecting such items."

Every action deserves punishment of jail, according to many, thus our elected folks add laws on laws to make your dreams come true. Lapses in judgement no matter how small seem to bring out the worst in people and their judgement. In this case..no harm was done. Truck was returned so give the guy community service..clean toilets etc. But jail is not going to work..

Mr Haynie should be prosecuted to the fullest. Who does he think he is ? He shouldn't be allowed behind the wheel. I've heard his name often and every time I've heard it ... It was not good things I heard about him. Let him sit in jail for a while ! He deserves it 100% I think whoever said it was the neighbors fault that the truck was stolen is dreaming.

The car owner, for one....because he allowed an "enticement" for the minor... Similar logic applies when a child/toddler see bright colored beach balls in the neighbors pool, finds a way into the fenced area and drowns...the pool owners get sued for creating an "enticement"...the lawyers may also go for the juveniles parents too (if they have $$) ..my daughter is a property insurance agent in California where you can get sued at the drop of a hat! These type things do happen.

I said there was no need in asking for yourself to be the victim in a law suit. fla. statue 316.1975 can cause you to be charged with leaving the keys in the vehicle. @alabamadude- I didn’t say to “punish” the victim, someone else said that.

It is NOT borrowing. Borrowing is taking something that does not belong to you but you ask the owner FIRST! It is a shame that we have to educated people on common sense, morals, ethics and illegal behavior. Go look this guy up, his record includes more than stealing vehicles. @molinojim – I am not advocating that it is a smart practice to leave your vehicles unlocked, but to punish the victim with a fine or jail time is insane!!
