    Why putting this on news on line, do you expect us to say well done. Taking is stealing. Whether it was $7 what gave you the right to trespass the company premises, invade his privacy and help yourself. He been trying it at small and now go for big one. All offenders should be made to pay compensation to the victims after leaving jail for the stress you have caused. They should be taken outside and clean all public highways.

    $72,000? If may not be cash. They must have emptied the store. The loot may have been stolen to resell.
    Sorry law-abiding people from Grand Bay. However, I have to state, check Grand Bay and in empty areas.
    Hope the others are caught. Thieves caught do not go down alone and will not be charged and sentenced alone. They will be police informants.

      Get out of here and leave Grand Bay out of your mess. Isn’t there anything better for you to comment about? All you do is talk all over the place.

    Yesterday you were a free man, today you are looking at the prospects of spending Christmas and the New Year in jail! You will sit in your cell and think of these things, realizing that you may very well be in the company of other men who think and act as you do for many years. Your thoughts will take you to the fact that you will NOT have any normal relations with a woman during that time. You will think of your mother, your father, your siblings and extended family and the embarrassment that you have caused them. If you have a child or children you will consider the hurt you will cause them by your absence and the shame that you will feel when they have to come visit you behind bars. If, per chance, you have a wife or girlfriend you will agonize at the thought of her being with another man, especially your friend who has been eyeing her for years or your enemy who might have your child calling him Daddy. Then you will ask yourself, was it worth it???? I cry for your family!

    EH, what or who keeps that kind of sum in their draw, on their premises during the off hours mentioned? You looking for trouble. Not that that excuses the burglar to pilfer what’s not theirs. But then again, it could be an insider job.

      Because they are lazy, have an attitude and dishonest. Who wants to hire people like that? They haven’t been taught the etiquette involved in securing a job and keeping work coming your way.
