<p>[QUOTE="Gilbert, post: 2458244, member: 73104"]This thread reminded me of an incident that transpired here a couple of years ago. As is the case with many people in this area, an elderly woman we know did not lock her doors when going out. Much to her misfortune a couple of punks came knocking while she was away (to ask directions) and when there was no response entered and helped themselves to anything small and valuable. Her husband had some coins in a bureau that they took. He was an accountant and as such kept pretty good records and pictures of his coins. After the theft he gave the sherrif the descriptions and pictures. Months past with nothing heard, until one day a young man brought one of the coins to a LCS where the owner compared the coin to the pictures. The young man tried saying he had found the coin and then changed his story, saying a friend had sold it to him. Bottom line, since he did not have a record he received two years probation for receiving stolen property and the two miscreants got five to ten at the Maine State Prison. I love good endings, except the nice old woman never got most of her possessions back, except for the one coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
