That's the problem ... some of these 8-balls are no doubt carrying firearms when they break in to your house. At some point, gunshots will go off ... homeowner vs intruder.

The fact they they are so brazen to do this in broad daylight implies one of two things ... maybe both.

1. Very, very stupid

2. On drugs, and very, very desperate.

Agree big time ... the pest control guy gets my vote for alert citizen of the month.

What company does he work for?

How can we donate $5-10 to this good citizen?

maybe it could be called the "CRISPERS AWARD" count me in

[nitehawk]

Maybe Crispers would want to donate $100 gift certificate or maybe the local community patrol would like to donate a gift cert - maybe the Morse family -

Some recognition is warranted. Most police authorities have recognition programs in place to acknowledge these type deeds.
Starting a slush fund , to me is not a good idea. Because;
- who controls the fund
- is there a cut off limit
- will every good deed in the future get a $ award
- who decides the next award
etc.

What would Crisper's have to do with this?

Perhaps the online newspaper will publish the pest control guy's name and company he works for. A lot of people on this site read the newspaper daily, so hopefully we'll find out that information.

Wouldn't it be a nice gesture if the owner of the company received a lot of notes praising his sharp employee, and thanking him for his involvement in keeping a watchful eye.

If I were this pest control guy, Im not sure I would want my name and place of employment made public. Friends or family of the thieves could seek retaliation. VERY thankful to him though!

Have you thought that he may NOT want his name publicized? After all these creeps are already out of jail or will be soon by the way our justice system works. He would probably sleep better at night if he wasn't known......I would.

Zane Henegar who works for Fertigator was the guy who called the police on the burglars.


I think he is on facebook. There is one a guy with that name who looks like the picture on the zzzzzNEWS and he lives in Lady Lake, from Worthington, Ohio and an Ohio State fan.


Go Bucks.

Last December we had someone steal packages from front porches that had been delivered by UPS. He was apprehended quickly due to an observant contractor working in the area. You may have heard about the "Bicycle Bandit".

This person has a beautiful face, obviously is clever enough to plan and pull off these things, and could have been so different.


It fills me with rage that this is happening over and over.

I agree this is such a waste. He looks so fresh faced and bright. But these are serious crimes he's accused of committing and has committed in the past. I find it very depressing. I certainly don't pretend to have the solution but in my mind there's only 2 ways to handle it. He has to stay locked up for the rest of his natural life or there has to be a realistic way to rehabilitate these folks. I can't quote statistics but I know the recidivism rate is way too high IMHO. I don't live in Shangri La so I get it that you can't make people change if they don't want to. But seems to me it would be nice to offer a way out for those willing to put in the effort. Do I have the answer as to what that would be? No. But I know doing nothing isn't working.

I'd like to add real quick that I read this whole thread and saw opinions and points of view that varied WIDELY, but I didn't see any thing disrespectful or from someone I don't think is a good person and well intentioned. So for that I say well done TOTV'ers.

I dont think we should be putting this mans name, employer and location up unless he is ok with it? I would hate for those kids to seek revenge. I would be petrified to have my info out there. He may like his privacy.
