Thanks for the quick response Drew SO and MPD!!
Do some people just wake up some morning and think, “Today, I think I will do something crazy so I can go to jail.”? What were they thinking?
I hope the young people, if first offenders, get probation and not jail time. But I have to wonder why they think stealing if okay?
