Burglary Suspect Busted After Yard Sale

Florida Man Arrested When He Allegedly Tried To Sell Stolen Property Near Crime Scene

(AP)  Police say an Ocala man was selling stolen property at a yard sale in the same neighborhood as the home he robbed.

Fred and Betty McAteers, who live in Ocklawaha, arrived at a home they own in Ocala on Monday to find that it had been burglarized. They returned Tuesday and walked around the neighborhood to see if anyone knew anything about the theft. During their walk, they saw their dresser sitting on the front lawn of an apartment building.

They called the police, who charged 22-year-old Branden Mitchell Gardiner with residential burglary and dealing in stolen property. He was being held on a $4,000 bond.

Are you refering to the first two posts? If so, I totally agree!

[extremophil]

What''s the world coming to when you can''t even fence stolen property without getting arrested? Jeeezz

[newsjunky5]

You need to use a truck if you want to move a dresser to a different neighborhood. The high price of gas was his demise.

22-year-old Branden Mitchell Gardiner was 14 when Bush was elected. I guess Dubya''s "No Child left behind" educational initiatives didn''t make him any smarter.

brilliant!

Criminal AND stupid--that''s a combination to make a parent proud.

Isn''t it just so satisfying when really dumb (or arrogant) criminals get theirs like this!

You can''t get anymore Redneckish then in that part of Florida.

Note to self;

Do not sell the stuff you steal, in the same neighborhood that you stole from. Somebody might get wise.

What an idiot!

would this then infer that all liberals are criminals?

if you believed that what you were doing was ''not'' a crime ... wouldn''t that mean that it isn''t a crime?

This burglar IS a conservative repugnant law breaker. All criminals are conservative repugnants and have blind, ignorant, and arrogant and have blind faith in GW the village idiot.

[ici2i]

For every crime there are at least 100 ways to get caught. A genius will come up with about 80% of them. This ultra right conservative genius only came up with one; get the stuff out of the building w/o being seen.

[latrocinor-2009]

Two kinds of morons:

1. Criminals that don''t think theyll get caught.

2. Morons so obsessed by the President they might even mention his name during their wedding vows.

%u201CWar is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.%u201D

To all the thieves in the world . . . this is a perfect example of why you should just take your butt to school and get a real job!

[ajaxtheleast]

He''s "Dumber".

His brother "Dumb" would''ve reasoned that as long
as the owners were going to recognize the dresser
upon their return why not set it right up in front
of the owner''s own house, therby converting the time saved in hauling the dresser to my house into sale time, play the odds of selling it before they return and if not run down the street opposite the direction of my house leading the police away from my house and play the odds of outrunning the police cruiser.

Two other kinds of losers:

Theives that think they will never get caught.

Morons that are so obsessed in making the current president look bad because their party lost the last two elections.

Making George Bush look bad is like as making John Dillinger look dishonest.

she informs me that most dead-beat dads are white and refuse to make child support payments. Must be because keeping up the payments on 4x4 trucks are more important than kids down here.

"Morons that are so obsessed in making the current president look bad because their party lost the last two elections."

Actually the DEM''s did very well in the last election preciusely because of all the loud-mouthed ignorant jerks on the web turned the independents out in droves--trying to do it again? Expecting different results this time? And to top it off your remark has nothing to do with the news story!
