tommie gorman Posted June 17, 2006 CID Share Posted June 17, 2006 I would have to say that $$ talks, and he will probably walk. He did not actually steal, just vandalized the place. He could easily make restitution. The rest is another story, who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resopalrabotnick Posted June 17, 2006 CID Share Posted June 17, 2006 if he walks, the store owner can still sue him for emotional distress at his store being vandalized, having bad dreams about the event etc. and if he gets awarded punitive damages he can close down the store and retire...
