(30,058 posts)Or would you assume the person who purchased the welding machine originally worked hard to pay for the machine. Have you ever welded? Welders are hard working, it is a hot job and has dangers. The thug who steals the machine prevents the owner from feeding his family and earning a living. Did the thug steal to feed his family? BTW, the thug had prior arrest for theft when he was 17, it probably was not his first time to take possession of other peoples property. If you want to join in a group and collect money to pay back those these thugs has stolen from and destroyed their property, then by all means do so but do not expect law abiding citizens to like the fact someone wants to steal. You get yourself into the court system and prison by misconduct, breaking laws, and not being a law abiding citizen. Go and cry on the shoulders of the thugs in prison, they need money added to their accounts while they are in prison.
