3rd teen charged with stealing from unlocked cars -

A third teenage boy was arrested yesterday for swiping iPods, cell phones and other electronic devices from five unlocked cars in a Miller Place neighborhood, Suffolk police said.

"They were just being teens who have nothing better to do and just made a poor decision,"

This is the explanation from the mother of one of the criminals. No wonder her son is a piece of sh*$ criminal because its her fault as well. No clue how to discipline her child. She just makes excuses for him. WHITE TRASH!!!

"Nothing else better to do" DUH!!!

Inexcusable. I see somebody has a fine future in D block.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, but why do people leave valuable stuff in an unlocked car? I don't get it.

What an idiot.

Although these guys are guilty of grand larceny, don't leave valuables in plain sight and lockup your cars.

False sense of security perhaps. I don't know Miller Place but I'm assuming that it's probably a nice, safe area and the residents are thinking "nothing will happen to me."

I don't have a boatload of stuff happening in my neighborhood but that doesn't mean that I plan on leaving my windows open and doors unlocked. Then again, I grew up in Queens so it's second nature for me to lock the door behind me.

If I have anything of value, it goes into the trunk.

Nothing better to do.......at 3:00am
How about sleeping so you go the flock to work in the morning.

Long Island is a tough place to live. With the exception of our homes, an automobile is generally our second most expensive purchase. Anyone who breaks into cars to steal should be considered a burglar.

I hope momma has a few extra grand laying around to pay off junior's legal fees.

What's the saying...nothing good happens after midnight? These kids should have been home and asleep. Maybe if they had a curfew and a job and some structure this would not have happened.

Ditto! That's good advice, it's simple and it works.

I see Peter posts from New Hampshire. Reading these posts he may get the idea Long Island is riddled with crime. I don't think that's the case, because our population is almost 3 million persons. We have more residents in the two counties than many states.

I would guess our crime rate is lower compared to other metro areas.

My mom came from the school that nothing good happens after 8 pm. I had to be in the house when the street lights came on...I was 15 at the time. At 16, I was allowed to stay out until 10...oooh.

There was a massive sense of accountability that was required of me. If I was going to a house party, I had to provide name, address, phone number, occassion, etc. and My mom drove me to the house and met with the parents before leaving me there. I had to leave before the fun started happening and yes, it sucked then but I finished my education, never got arrested, never got caught up in drugs, no kids, etc.

I tip my hat to Liz and her mom for being responsible.

I'm sure you're good neighbors too.

[wow]
