Guy accused of stealing life vests from under WN seats
 

You know, It's getting to the point that I resent having to breathe the same air as some of the g.d. idiots we have walking around. God Almighty.

Hope the judge punishes the crap out of him.

Dumbass!

Didn't someone complain on here their flight got delayed because of missing vests?

Does anyone else find this part of the article rather amusing?

They should put him on the no fly list. Let him take the bus or a train--no vests there to steal.............

Well, in that case, he needs to banned from all boat trips too (cruises, farriers, etc), since there are vests to steal there too!

How about charging him with attempted murder? Even if he isn't convicted on that specific count, the publicity from getting that type of charge because of stealing safety equipment would probably stop more people from doing the same than putting him on the no fly list.

What is he going to do with them?

To paraphrase a Jeff Foxworthy joke ... Christmas presents!

:)

There are 26 on eBay. (Most are vintage). Just think what a new one would sell for. :rolleyes:

Put this guy in jail.

This is exactly why I check to see if my life vest is where it is supposed to be when I board. What a dumb @$$.

Perfect. Punishment fits the crime.

Make it a lifetime ban.:D

Seriously, who considers endangering the lives of others to be a worthy consequence of a "prank"? :mad:

That would be too much to charge him with attempted murder.

Someone doesn't shovel snow from their sidewalk because they are too lazy....attempted murder.

Someone runs a red light, a serious offense....no, make it worse, attempted murder.

Someone drives too fast in a school zone, even 1 mph....attempted murder.

No, the guy is a cheapskate who has a stealing problem. A hit to the pocketbook, that is the trick, not jail.

Bad enough to steal airline blankets, dinnerware, dishes.... but safety equipment. Talk about a thief with no soul.

On Cebu Pacific, they make a standard announcement saying that the theft of life vest is a criminal offence...

Perhaps vintage are worth more?

And I would go for an insane asylum over jail.

This happens surprisengly often, it is the main reason commercial airplanes do not have smoke hoods. The NTSB has had them in their suggestions list for nearly 30 years.
