His accomplices, brother and brothers gf, have a warrant out for thier arrest.

I was hoping for justice to be served accordingly.

I understand how you feel Cuong; I've always felt the same rage when I've had things stolen from me (a couple of break-ins and a mc theft). However; it is a fact that most young offenders after their first time through the courts, never repeat.
Though I've never been arrested and none of my shenanigans were as serious as property theft (other than stealing my parents car & liquour!) the fact is if I had been charged with all my offenses and served maximum sentences concurently; I may still be sitting in jail!
My point is: Though we may want to cut off their balls, keel-haul the bastards and fill what's left with lead; it would be a shame and a wrong to destroy the potential of a persons future contributions because of a stupid, juvinile act that many of us may have made at the same age. At 21; most males are still idiots!
