What we are are seeing is a perversion of the criminal-justice system. Could a Villages burglar duck the whole system by anonymously returning the loot when things start to get hot? Incredible.

By the way, I would not object to a suspended sentence, fine, and restitution in this case. My objection is to the way this felony investigation has been handled and the lack of reporting as to what is going on. For example, what exactly is the deal that has been cut with the perpetrators' front organization, The Friends of Lake Miona, and the prosecutor? We are entitled to know.

How would their financial records make them look guilty? I would imagine it was a cash deal. And not that much either. I mean a withdrawal from someone's account of four or five hundred dollars to pay the tree cutters is NOT that noteworthy. I am afraid you wouldn't be a good writer for a crime series.
