Stupid is as stupid does! I'm surprised he got probation and not jail time. Five years probation and has to pay the money back over the five years. Sounds light to me!

Plus $200,000 in restitution if I read it correctly.

If you guys sold anything to this fella, I hope he didn't pay with a bag of quarters (receiving stolen goods)

Yeah, so basically they are taking what he has left in the bank and forgetting the rest since they know he could never pay it bank anyway. At least that is how my thinking takes me.

What I want to know is how many times a day this guy made it in and out of the room jingling with pockets full of quarters and no one saw a thing? This guy took the fall. He was the low hanging fruit and the obvious catch since it was all nicely documented. Me thinks there were more people doing this as well, they just did not put it in the bank. If he was the only one, some goody goody would have squealed earlier than this. There is more to this than we will know.

I mean come on..... Guy walking out of the room with a bulge in the front and a load in the back. No one got a clue for how long? Wow!

He really should have been honest...but if he had to steal, the least he should have done was to start up a coin-generating business.

Maybe he was just a quarter sorter who broke bad 8-) :lol:

(I've been waiting like forever to work in a Breaking Bad reference)

On a serious note, it's sad to see how much you actually can steal from a gov't entity before raising suspicion.

Every time I read one of these stories I can't figure out why they do it.

I mean it's always people that make better than average wages legitimately,
how is that not enough for them?

No matter how overpaid and under-worked, most government employees believe that they're underpaid and over-worked. Some of that comes from seeing private sector workers with higher wages but no cushy pensions.
