Lowlife bonsai thief caught on tape

[bretts]

Just saw on IBC that they got him

 

[Alex DeRuiter]

Yay!!! Any updated pictures of this guy?

 

[Alex DeRuiter]

Hah!! Caught!

Now that's one handsome gentleman.

 

[John Ruger]

Let see what he gets for felony grand theft.

I'm a lenient sort of guy,community service in the Karate Kid style would be fitting,jury of the peers and all that.

 

[DaveV]

I'm GLAD he is caught !

 

[Alex DeRuiter]

I wonder if he'll have to sell his own trees to pay for his fines. lol -- assuming, of course, that his collection is more than just stolen trees.

I am pretty impressed that he was caught so quickly. Glad that it happened that way so the health of the bonsai does not suffer. I am sure the owner is breathing a sigh of relief right now.

Tom,
Did they ever catch the person who robbed the Bonsai place in Bellingham?

 

[namnhi]

I kind of feel sorry for the guy.

 

[tmmason10]

I don't think so, not that I have heard. Maybe John romano will see this and chime in.

 

[Klytus]

He may have had some ill conceived plan to borrow the assemblage so as to improve it before it's safe return.

Remorse is fairly alien to America so how would the jury recognise such an emotion?

I kind of feel sorry for the guy.

WHAT???!!!!

 

[namnhi]

WHAT???!!!!

Look at him. Obviously he has some issues. I know stealing is wrong but if the tree is unharmed I hope they don't do what was suggested by one of the member - Trunk chop him.

I kind of feel sorry for the guy.

: Why??? Didn't he commit a crime?
He will reap what he sows and he will deserve every bit of it.

 

[stacy allen muse]

they could wire him straight... bad pun intended !!!
or graft him onto better stock ???

Glad he's caught, before he made a lucrative business out of it...
hope trees turn out ok ...
