Our legal system sucks. What kind of message is it sending when the punks who did $377,000 in damage get no jail time and make restitution of $10,000(3%)?
I assume they filed a homeowners claim and sounds like they should have recovered for vandalism damage and theft of personal property.
I agree with Jester that full restitution should have been required by the court. Manytimes judges feel that insurance companies don’t need reimbursed and that might be reflected in such a low restitution amount. And it may be uncollectible no matter what is awarded. The system sucks.

Although I certainly feel for the couple what interest is the article to the claims community?
