    Of course he was released. How is he to steal again if he’s kept in jail?

    Maybe a couple months and he’ll be out in no time to steal again. Maybe next time you or I will be next.

    Ok so where is the video and the name of this punk? Once “booked” the names of those arrested are matter of public record. So doesn’t the SA reporters know this? Just ask to see ” the books”.

    I have a security camera trained on my vehicle out front of my apartment; one early morning about 4am while it was still dark out, my security camera which turns on when detecting motion showed this white young dude walking about several vehicles other than my truck checking to see if by chance the owners forgot to lock/secure their vehicles, with no success. He finally worked his way to my truck which is already equipped with a burglary alarm with blinking red lights, so without touching my truck he just tried peering into the windows looking for something of interest. Having an unsuccessful forage he just walked off into the night.
    When I shared this footage with police in my community they pointed out that unless that guy actually broke into any of the vehicles they weren’t able to make an arrest.
    I shared this footage with my apartment management team and soon after, they evicted this guy and his girl friend.

    Scumbag. How about locking him up for a change instead of releasing them into the community to do more damage?
