When he quit being a deputy, he lost his license to steal

There is a very fine line between cop and criminal. The badge is the only difference.

Nothing to see here just the law breaking the law as usual

[tbolton]

What kinda freak is this? "Oh I attended strangers wedding, just to hear marriage vows."

[CaribbeanEmpress]

I thought it was the Mailman Cliff from cheers!

[joyoung]

more of them to need to arrested for rapes, drugs, murder, abuse

Whole new meaning to the words: "Wedding crasher". I hope you get your gifts (money) back. A former Sheriff Deputy imagine that

Don't know wedding well, but maybe put the gifts close to the middle of the room and not near an easy exit. It might look tacky, but at least you decrease the possible thefts. Everyone wants to enjoy the wedding and not sit by the presents table and generally it's a little old lady and they might grab stuff and run aways. Sad this happens.

He did not steal the wedding gifts because as a well trained Law Enforcement Officer, he is securing the items to be sold at his garage sale.

[vanrajsindha]

was he stealing for himself or for his family👪 ???? if was retired he must be getting pension

[peoplewatcher]

Years ago we caught someone stealing the money bag, that guy was never so happy to see the police.

This Trump 🍊 supporter is outta control MAGA 🇺🇸💪.

Weddings. They allow you to take the flowers on the table and food if its a buffet. The food was good. They gave us all the leftovers, we had food for days.

I never see deputy officer at any weddings, he has no business to be there, everyone gives envelopes to brides/grooms walk/talk people each tables with her purse to thank everyone, never never leave on gifts table, think twice 🧐

The secret of the future is hidden in your daily routine. Crypto and forex trading is the future.

Feel a bit sad for the guy. He's obviously going through a tough time...drugs. That will do it all the time. And instead of drug treatment we society will lock him up. When he gets out he'll probably be an even worse criminal. Prison is like college for criminals. You go in for minor crimes and come out ready to commit major crimes.

when you put things out in the open...it's free real estate
