Pitch the key away
I hope it is the culprit and he is slammed with muliple charges!!!! Sick of these self righteous, inconsiderate schmucks!!!!
Nice work BPS!
Lock him up for a min. of ten years… yes ten years.. lessons have to be taught today, for the others out there… back to old
CRIME DOES NOT PAY
10 years for each TOTAL 30 with NO possibility of parole
Guess what… the hate show will have callers that will say “well he could not get a job” and then blame the OBA for this dispical behavior from this looser..
Make an example out of him! This is an insult to those of us who work hard for our money!
