My Comment about debt being paid off to society!

[HumblePie98]

Yes, I realize this is a far cry from murder!

Over a year ago someone stole our only car from my husbands place of work. It wasn't enough that they stole it. They took it ran it until the put the transmission out. (It was done it the strip cuts- they took it hooping!)

They also ran it down over a very steep embankment. It had to be pulled out from between 2 trees. It was completly destroyed.

One of them was an adult, one was a kid. Both were charged as adults. And I fought tooth and nail to have the younger one charged as an adult.

Would you believe that the oldest only recieved 90 days in jail and 6 months probation! JUST 90 DAYS!!! The other only received 5 years probation.

They were both order to pay restution. We have yet to see a dime. I am FIGHTING to get it. Why am I fighting for what we are owed???

If you want my opinion that is not time enough for either of them. They owe me a debt and can't/won't pay it. At the court hearing I made a victim Impact statement. Do you know the oldest kid looked at me and laughed when he was ordered by the court to apolgize to me?!? I was so furious. The judge asked me if I could sit down at t he jail and talk to him. How could I? I wanted to strangle him. The judge saw this behavior and he still didn't get enough time.

The second Kid did apolgize. He also sent me a letter later on saying how sorry he was. Also, his probation contacted us to meet him at the distrcit attorneys office. And I did. He wanted to show me how far he has come. He is off drugs, and I hate to say it, But I was proud of him. He writes me now and then with his progress, and I always respond. Right now he is working on his drug addiction, and trying to find a job. He is working to change his life. In my eyes his debt is ALMOSt paid to society. I'd like to see him working full time. And I would like his half of my money.

To me the oldest Kid has not payed his debt to society. He has been and out of jail since. What a pile of human waste he is. He thinks its funny to do these things. In fact in December he broke into someones home and stole all her nice stuff. (computer, tv's etc.) She is a single mom busting her butt to provide- again what right did he have to do this!?! I talked until I was blue in the face to the judge. He needs a good hard sentence in a state prison. No more county games. He didnt get it, just another slap on the bottom.

That's just my 2 cents!

I hope you get what they owe you. How stressful. Don't get to worked up, you gotta baby to think of now hon!! HUGZ

I don't get worked up over it anymore. Sometimes, I think, unless something hits home to you, you just don't realize certain things.

Oh, and this baby needs to plan on getting ready to come out! I'm 30 weeks and look like like I'm 40!! LOL

I know how you feel. When we went to Vegas in 2001, the kid across the street (17 at the time) broke into our house. He didn't take alot, and DH went over there and took all our stuff back (after scaring the crap out of this kid). Since he broke our window to get in, DH told him he would have to pay for it. We got an estimate from the family's cousin for $500. Haven't seen a dime.. What gets me is that last year, DH needed a part for our truck. The boy's mother works for a junkyard, so he asked her to pick it up for us. She did, and then wanted $125 for it! We paid, of course, but I couldn't help feeling like they could have covered it. After all, their child could be in the penn...

Back in 1986 a college roommate stole my CC and debit card while I was on spring break. He proceeded to wipe me out for $2,500.00. Restitution of $3,286.00 was ordered. 19 years later I have seen a grand total of $66.67. He has been in and out of jail all this time.

Oh that makes me so mad.. They need to stay in jail and have them work in jail or work somewhere while in jail to give the money back to you.. That is crazy..

As much as you are distressed about it, the guy who broke into my house and stole my car is going to be in jail for 25 years. It was a deal. And he was so stupid because he was offered two deals. And he took the one that will cost him the most amount of time.

And don't think that anyone can get through 5 years of probation without messing up. In GA you actually have to pay your probation officer and if you don't do as you should, you go directly to jail. And spend the balance of your time there.

I never said he isn't going to mess up. He is taking good strides and thats great!

I agree he should pay you back. In fact what should happen is he should have his pay stipend till he is paid up. And if he has no job he shouldn't get state assistance until he is paid off, by that time he will have worked for a while and will have no excuse.
I'm glad that the judge took into account that it was your only car for transportation, hopefull ythe insurance 4covered it.

You know what, I think it is time that us americans say, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. I am sick of criminals getting a slap on the wrist, the judge saying bad bad isnt good enough, these criminals are getting probation for grand theft auto and destruction of privacy. Meanwhile the op is pregneat, has no other car, her husbands is having to try to make his way back and forth to work, what about the op if she has to go to a doctors appot or a obgyn or whatever??? It just makes me sick that what the op worked so hard for was destroyed by some idiot that got away scott free while her and hubby suffer trying to make ends meet and get a running vechile to continue life
