Apparently this guy has broken into several homes in the area, most with people at home! The break in is bad enough, but to do it with people at home... The trauma and stress the poor kids go through, being scared in their own home.
Does this kid have a death wish? He needs to be put away for a long time and get some help while he is there.

Its probably the hammers fault. We should ban all hammers.

Yes, we should ban all hammers and really take a hard look at the need for windows and sliding glass doors. Most homes have A/C and proper ventilation these days. Perhaps the use of glass in the construction of dwellings should be banned also! Very good thought Kirk, you should run for office...theres 47% of the vote you would get automatically! :-)

Do you know what other homes he robbed? Think he may have attempted in our area.

Junkie or not, breaking into someone's house and stealing their property shows a complete lack of respect for your fellow human beings and can get you accidently shot by the homeowner. I hope this kid straightens out before he gets killed.
