Amazing story here! Sadly our community has missed it! Now it’s not right to take someone’s property! I agree! This guy got his shame by being posted public! We are always quick to judge someone! Agreed again he should have been more careful if truly a accident! We come from a Christian community here in our area! This farmer showed a true example! He could have been bitter and judged. We all have made a mistake. I’ve been in a hurry and paid for gas and drove off and left it. Not the fault of the Store. Our moral here is that we should learn. No one is perfect we shouldn’t always jump to conclusions until we have checked into things first. God knows what you do you can’t hide it from him! But being a Christian we should show a better side! The farmer let it be paid for to make it right! We ask God to forgive us when we are wrong! He does everytime! Yes he could have went to jail behind this but think for a minute. It was paid for and now the guy should truly go apologize for his actions. Had a charge been applied here yes he would have went to jail. Yes if he doesn’t bond out then the tax payers can feed him and support him for a little bit. The police would have first had to find him wasting time and money on this when they could actually been out finding a missing child or going on a call of domestic violence occurring. It of course isn’t right he didn’t pay yes again it’s a crime. But sometimes we should get a second chance to make it right. The farmer I think made a great decision here. Hopefully we start thinking more like Christians in our matters. If this guy is doing wrong in life he will soon be revealed. God has a way of working it all out. This farmer will be so blessed by this in the long run. I’m just so surprised by the actions of our community here. We are quick to throw stones at someone but it actually says in the Bible that he without sin cast the first stone. Now I am not blaming anyone here I am just saying I think we all missed the moral of this story here. So glad it was worked out and hopefully we can all learn from it. God bless you all.

Funny how a picture a video and a mad boss will make an honest man out of you.

“Honor after all”?? I don’t think so. There’s NO honor in apologizing and paying after getting caught. He’s still a thief and a liar who can’t be trusted.

I’m happy to hear that it was made right, although I’m not buying the “he forgot” excuse. I’d like to hear the update when/if he actually shows up to apologize. Kudos to his boss for apparently applying the leverage on him.

Glad he paid up and admitted his mistake. Sometimes, especially in cases like this, we need to not jump to conclusions. We used to have people send us checks in the mail for our Pumpkin Patch because they stopped when we weren’t there. I’m quite certain that occasionally someone would forget to pay but it’s not life or death and eventually they would feel that conviction and hopefully make it right. People make mistakes…we shouldn’t lord it over them. If they actually are thieves, they’re going to get what’s coming to them. I got an ex-husband making it his life’s mission to avoid paying his court ordered child support. He owes me over $27,000. He is actively stealing what rightfully belongs to our children. You wanna get up in arms about something….there ya go.

This guy and his truck should be fairly easy to recognize. The truck has lighter color body cladding, an odd color gas tank cover, and looks like he’s got some primer or other lighter color spray paint on the left rear near the bumper. His face is pretty clear, so someone should be able to recognize him and come forward with information. Four bags of corn isn’t a huge crime, but it is an assault on the way of life in agricultural communities where farmers have roadside stands.

Mr. Eicher and Wesley are hard working good people. People that do this are scum and i hope they get caught. I would hate it, but I wouldn’t blame them if they quit the honor system. I wish he had a cam set to get the perps license plate.
