  1. First of all, no self-respecting man would wear such a girly robe. Second of all, why didn’t the police keep pounding on the fact that the box was in no way addressed to a “Jeff”? The thief would’ve immediately known it wasn’t the box he was looking for. End of interview and cuffs on right at that point.

  2. Oh poor him, having to “take up extra effort” cooking and cleaning suddenly. He has that girl completely snowed. God only knows how much time he’s stolen from her being a total loser.

  3. John you’re full of it, sending them on a scavenger hunt and now you’re staying at the Grey Bar Hotel, congratulations dopey you earned it. Pinched on a Saturday night for a felony, no bail and you’ll be driven to the court Monday morning. Tell the judge you purify his doodie and he might give you a break.🙄🤣L!

  4. I also despise liars and thieves. Years ago my then husband and I were called out to a wreck as volunteers. I was an EMT and he was a firefighter. While we were gone, some neighboring teens who knew we were called out (later caught) broke into our home and stole $20 (my daughter's birthday money) and a gold necklace (first Mother's Day gift from my children). The clue that it was the teens? They stole the warm chocolate chip cookies I had just taken out of the oven and the 2 liter Pepsi on the counter. (They left the Coca-Cola.) The cost to repair the door and frame from their sloppy use of a crowbar costs more than what they stole. But the value of that necklace was priceless to me.

  5. He had a great work history with continuous promotions to larger/better positions per a news story. To risk a professional career even holding an engineering degree in order to steal is as many others noted -he is no stranger to thievery

  6. Starting about 10 years ago, whenever I take a trip, I take several photos of my luggage before I leave. That way, if it ever gets lost by the airline, or stolen, I can show them exactly what I had. Instead of just telling them "it's a blue bag", the picture will show exactly what shade of blue, and the type and shape of the bag, etc. And if I'm carrying something valuable inside, like some pricey tools or electronic equipment, I make sure I take a picture of those inside the bag too before I close it, for ID purposes. It's like they say: "a picture is worth a thousand words".

  7. His story doesn't fly. This disgusting thief and liar left someone's personal belongings in the bed of a pickup truck in the snow. Had no intention of returning anything. That city needs to up their hiring standards.

  8. Everyone knows there are cameras practically everywhere now, but especially in secure places like airports. The level of stupid you to have be as an identifiable PUBLIC FIGURE to steal from somewhere like an airport is absolutely mind boggleing. If he couldn't resist having sticky fingers in a place filled with cameras, just imagine the damage he's done in places there aren't, like his job.

  9. Sad thing is I believe him bcuz if he planned on keeping that stuff he woulda took the stuff inside his place
    Not left it kn his truck so it seems he was really going to return it tomorrow morning since he had a flight to catch anyways. Seems legit but at the same time who takes packaged that do not beling to you and if he thought they were "Jef's" if they didnt have Jeff's name on them he shouldnt have taken it. I'm wondering if the stuff would have been something they wanted if they woulda kept the stuff or if maybe they thought it might be drugs or something. It's all just strange.
