A car owned by a Strange Donuts employee, stolen from in front of the shop in Maplewood early Thursday morning containing about 500 donuts, was returned later in the day, apparently missing only a few donuts, according to a Tweet by Strange Donuts.
The car contained donuts for the store’s Kirkwood location — about 500.
Maplewood Police said Monday that a suspect was identified, however the victim has declined prosecution.
Surely this car thief will get punished regardless. At least a few days in jail. Please follow up with this.
If the victim doesn’t want to prosecute, then why should they be prosecuted?
Assuming that there are no special circumstances involved, it seems to me that, by not prosecuting, the victim is allowing a car thief to be roaming the streets of Maplewood, and is just paving the way for more victims.
Thats very STRANGE!
