0205 "Acquittal"
"Do you think they'll think we'll do it again?"
In the dim light of the warehouse, two young men were quickly searching for valuable goods, and this time they also specially asked for two leaflets from the children who distributed leaflets on the street, and used the above list to study what was the most profitable to steal.
If you consider the value alone, there is no doubt that a few used cars parked in another parking lot are worth more.
But that kind of thing is hard to come by, and they don't have the ignition technology that doesn't require a key.
And even if they succeed, it is a very dangerous thing to sell the stolen goods.
In the Bylor Federation, car thieves are organized crime, and there is already an industrial chain, if you find a car thief gang in the Sabine area now, you will definitely be able to see the exterior photos of Lynch's car and some vehicle information from their list.
Not only do they hold this list, but they also have similar photo album-like lists on their upline and downlines in other cities.
When someone places an order, they will steal the car or motorcycle that the customer specifies to deliver to the customer.
This is also destined to have only one gang in an area, they don't want to disappoint customers or their upper and lower lines, once a roaming car theft gang enters Sabin City, the first to trouble them is not the police, but the local car theft group.
The other shook his head with a smile and pretended to be smart, "They must not have imagined that we would come again in a short period of time!"
The two are actually not afraid at all, theft is not a felony in the Federation, according to federal law, even if they are arrested, the sentence will not exceed three years, and it may even be only two or three months in prison plus about half a year of community labor, and the cheap cost of crime makes them not care if they will be found out.
The two of them quickly searched for the goods that could be carried with them at the same time, and the blue vests that stood outside for them were smoking cigarettes in the dark.
He didn't think anyone would find him at this time, and as a Blue Vest in the warehouse area, he knew how deep the water was in the warehouse area.
It's normal for some warehouses to lose something, as long as the loss is not too much, and the value of the loss is not too large, no one will be held accountable.
It's become a potential rule that everyone is involved in, which is why so many people are willing to do it, even if they call the police, it's not useful.
It is not a simple matter for one or two thousand permanent staff to find the suspect in the entire warehouse area, the cost of detection is too high, the benefit is too small, and in the end it can only be stopped.
But this time, they are destined to run into trouble, because Lynch is not an ordinary person, and he will not follow some kind of rule that ordinary people are willing to follow.
The Blue Vest had almost finished his cigarette, and he pulled out his grandfather's pocket watch and glanced at the time under the streetlight, ten minutes had passed.
It may be that he has run out of cigarettes, or it may be that his attention has begun to drift away, and the flow of time has become slower and slower in his perception of the world, and he has become more and more irritable.
He wanted to urge the two idiots, but after thinking about it, he gave up, and could only wait quietly.
At the same time, six of the Sergeant's five members had approached the warehouse under Lynch's instructions, and they had even been observing the blue backpack for some time.
In line with the principle of catching thieves and catching stolen goods, they did not start now, but waited quietly.
Born of a creature's fear of nature, Blue Strap didn't know he was being watched, he just felt that he was getting more and more irritable, feeling more and more uneasy, that the two idiots had been in for too long.
Although the security guards in the warehouse area are not very good at following the rules and regulations at night, this is actually equivalent to adding an unpredictable risk, which is much more dangerous than regular patrols, and the ghost knows when the security guards have bad brains and want to come out and take a turn.
After another seven or eight minutes, the two of them came out of the prying open door, in fact they had been able to come out several minutes ago, but they had hidden all the things they thought were the most valuable, and they did not intend to take them out.
They are good friends with the Blue Carrier, but at this time they are not exactly a group, and the money they get at great risk is divided among the Blue Strap who does nothing but opens the door for them, which makes them a little less happy.
So it's a matter of course to hide something valuable.
In the night, the blue strap couldn't see that there were other things hidden on them, but after muttering "Why didn't you come out until now", he gently closed the small door that had been pried open, and led the two into the night.
At the very moment when they left the warehouse area through the side door, the sergeant made a move.
Soon the three were stolen, and they called the police, who soon arrived at the scene and took over the three criminals.
Seeing their trembling and colorless faces, the sergeant reported the situation to Lynch, much to Lynch's satisfaction.
He did not intend to lynch these people, it was against the law to use lynching in the Commonwealth, and he trusted the police to let them know that there was a price to be paid for crimes.
Originally, Lynch thought that this was the end of the matter, but the next day he got the result that he couldn't believe at all.
"You mean...... Those three people have been released?", Lynch's voice was full of indescribable comical and absurdity, just now the police department called the police last night to answer the phone number they left after calling the police, and told them the outcome of the case.
The result was quite unexpected, after receiving a positive answer, Lynch dialed the police station, his tone was very steady, and he couldn't hear the unhappiness in his heart, "Last night my warehouse was burgled, and I caught three thieves and notified you police, but you just told me that the three thieves were released, and I want to know what happened." ”
The operator on the other end of the line was a girl, and she asked Lynch to wait for a while, and then said that she wanted to make an inquiry, and this wait was seven or eight minutes before the girl told Lynch that the three men had indeed been released.
"Mr. Lynch, I'm sorry for what happened to you, but this is the result of a trial by the Sabine City District Speedy Court, and they were sympathetic to the judge for their first documented crime, and they were exempted from criminal punishment and had to serve the community for no less than twenty hours a week for a ...... of continuous use," the operator paused, and the sound of turning pages came from the receiver, "for nine months." ”
The phone quickly hung up, which Lynch thought was a little ridiculous.
He immediately made a phone call to Ferral, intending to post the crimes of the three men and their punishments around his warehouse after the trial, so that they would know that there were places where they could reach out and where they couldn't.
Unexpectedly, the three people were only sentenced to community service, which is almost no difference from not being sentenced.
Because everybody knows that the community service company does not offend the residents, unless there is an administrative order, or a court supervision order, the community company will report to the judicial authorities on time that these people have completed their community service work, even if they have done nothing.
It wasn't what Lynch wanted, it only emboldened those people to figure out what was going on.
Ferrale only comforted Lynch with a few words when he learned about this, telling Lynch that the Sabine District Penitentiary no longer accepts applications for admission to lightweight criminals.
In other words, the prison gates have been closed, and the reason for this is partly due to the deterioration of law and order in the city of Sabine and the fact that the prison is already overcrowded.
Another problem is that some people find it difficult for them to live because they have lost their jobs, not to mention food.
But in prison, not only do they get a job, they don't have to worry about food, etc., and even if they are sick, the prison hospital will waive the cost of treatment to a certain extent – only for minor illnesses.
As for how to measure a minor illness, it mainly depends on whether the cost of treatment is higher than the cost of the post-mortem and cremation, and whether it is an infectious disease.
A lot of people start committing crimes and turn themselves in, so that their sentences are not too long, and then they can be fed and clothed and get a job.
Now these people are no longer a good resource, they have become a burden on the prison, and their products are no longer marketable, so they have stopped accepting prisoners.
Prisons don't want inmates, the courts don't have the right to detain them, and the police department is even less likely to keep them, Ferral said, adding that there are also some problems at the Sabine police station and several substations, and there is a serious shortage of police personnel, so now as long as they are not felons, they are only sentenced to community service.
It's not for anyone, it's just a no-brainer.
At the same time, the three freed guys felt ...... There is something indescribable churning inside them, they have sinned, but they have been acquitted.
At least in their view, community service was the equivalent of an acquittal, and they had never heard that crime could be done without jail time, so after a short break, they decided to give the warehouse district and the people who caught them yesterday a little more trouble and teach them a lesson.
Let them know that there are people who cannot be offended.
With this in mind, they were bolder this time, and this time they didn't plan to steal, and of course it wasn't robbery, robbery was a felony, they just moved.
Move something from one place to another!
