I just read a post from a local FB group. Package thieves are big in some
areas around here. This woman went to her parent's house and found tons of
empty boxes, packaging materials and a prime rib on their lawn. A prime rib?
Wow! Wonder if it came from Winco?

If I was king people that steal pkgs from others porches would get 2 yrs in nasty type prison.

Somebody surmised that it might have been an autocorrect. Always amazes me
how many people don't notice their typos. I am thinking that they meant
Amazon Prime or something of the sort.

The more they report it on TV, the more people realize it is something
they are likely to get away with.

Yup, here's an example...and this stuff is also the result of lenient judges:

http://www.cwbchicago.com/2017/12/pr...s-against.html

"Prosecutors Dropped Charges Against Accused Lakeview (Chicago) Package Thief€”Now He's Charged With Four Burglaries

The Cook County States Attorneys office decided to drop all charges against an alleged Lakeview package thief whom we told you about a couple of months ago.

Most of the suspect's victims lived in the 900 block of West Sheridan or the 3800 block of North Fremont, according to court records.

Michael Spanks had been charged with six misdemeanor counts of lost or mislaid property and possession of burglary tools in October. But the charges were dropped in a follow-up court appearance.

Now, this:

Michael Spanks, 49, was arrested in Lakeview last Thursday night after a local businessman saw him casing an apartment rental office in the 3800 block of North Broadway, police said.

When police arrived, they found Spanks inside of a neighboring business that was closed for the night.

Cops say he was carrying a FedEx box filled with paper files; a power screwdriver; two Beats headphones; two Google Minis; two magic bullet blenders; an iPad; six envelopes containing keys; and two iPods.

Spanks is charged with four felony counts of burglary and one felony count of theft. Judge Michael Clancy set bail at $50,000.

Investigators say he stole packages from a building in the 900 block of West Sheridan; more parcels from a building in the 800 block of West Sheridan; and an iPhone from a chiropractors office in the 3800 block of North Broadway.

Lets hope the charges stick this time.

Court records show that after spending much of the 90s in the narcotics industry, Spanks received a six-year sentence for burglarizing a River North convenience store in 2009..."

Oh... That could be! What seems to happen is that the thieves are usually
looking for something they can use or sell. I would imagine a homeless
druggie wouldn't have much use for raw meat!

I don't think you can get food poisoning from a fictitious piece of beef.

I haven't heard that name since I was in college. Beats the heck out of me why we had to read that old book. I mean, I was there during the 70's, not the 1920's.

Because great literature teaches lessons down through the centuries. It's
called "an education", not "training" for a reason.
