Keep those hands off of pinky pig! Man gets prison time for stealing $20 bucks from a 2-year-old's piggy bank. He was apparently caught in the act by the little girl's mom. The toddler was asleep at the time.
In what may be construed as an act of "petty theft" by some, a 31-year-old man in Sheboygan, Wisconsin was sentenced to six years in prison and five years probation after stealing $20 US from a toddler's piggy bank. Ryan Mueller broke into the home in August of last year.
According to the
AP report:
Four-time convicted burglar Ryan Mueller was convicted Thursday of felony burglary as a repeat offender in a Sheboygan, Wis., court.
Prosecutors say the 31-year-old Mueller broke into a home in August 2007 and stole money from a 2-year-old girl's piggy bank while she slept. They say the girl's mother walked into the room and caught Mueller in the act.
This sentence will be tacked onto a previous sentence that Mueller received back in June in a separate burglary case.
