Sorry for your loss, MJ, hope you get your stuff back. Besides having no fear of retribution or punishment these days, a lot of punks simply have no consideration for other people's personal property or what the loss of that property means to their victim. Let them off scott free? That don't seem right. When I was a kid our house in NY was robbed by some local kids when we were up on the Cape for the summer. Talk about feeling violated!? I thought my old man was going to get his axe handle and break some bones, but he got the "They're really good kids, just had some bad breaks in life, went down the wrong path." So in exchange for not pressing charges, he got the police to put letters, signed by them and their parents, and filed at police hdqts., basically, that that was the last straw and in the future, for so much as a jay-walking charge they'd get an automatic, no questions asked, all expenses paid visit at the correctional facility at Riverhead.
They deserve some sort of punishment whether you get all your stuff back or not!
