When you take a GPS from an unlocked car, you get charged with petit larceny, which is an appearance ticket and $50-500 fine.
When you get charged with a higher crime, you get a few weeks in jail. In my case, the offender was a known “frequent flyer” who victimized my neighborhood for months, and was arrested 6 times. He was charged with a more serious misdemeanor, and was charged with 30 days in jail. He has not returned.
My objective as a citizen is to peacefully enjoy my home. Some lowlife doesn’t have the right to pillage our yards.
