Blaming the Enforcers?

DeaconKC,

As a Parole Agent, we call them "job security". However, today I did get a report that gave me hope. A friend of mine had a shovel, hoe and a plastic target frame stolen from his garage. A few days later he spotted the frame at a local house, turned out some kids there stole the stuff to build a skateboard ramp. He talked with the Dad and the two boys had to work off the theft by spending two Saturdays clearing brush by hand. Good for the Dad!

Excellent problem solving! No cops, no record, but a lesson in accountability. The single answer we should be looking for in these situations is "sensibility."
