Man accused of break-in, then garage sale
By QMI Agency
SARNIA, Ont. — Police have identified a suspect who is alleged to have broken into a home in June and then held a garage sale on the front yard.
Greg Kemmis, 62, was out of town on June 17 when someone broke into the rental home and garage and sold thousands of dollars worth of woodworking machinery and tools in broad daylight.
"It's one thing to steal stuff in the middle of the night ... but to be selling the stolen property right on the premises," the woodworking enthusiast told QMI Agency in July.
Witnesses told police the thief set up a wooden sign offering "tools for sale" and stayed in front of the home from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The suspect even placed price tags on the stolen merchandise.
"He took duct tape and my magic marker and stuck it to the machine or the items he was selling," Kemmis said, estimating the tools sold were worth $40,000.
Wow! This guy has to be the ballsiest bastard I've ever put on the blog. This is seriously some 'Opportunity Knocks' type stuff. Its bad enough when you break into someone's house and steal their things but when you sell all of it to their neighbors then you've truly gone overboard. This kind of reminds me of the episode of 'Rosenanne' where she bought some tacky ass dog umbrella holder off of a moving man in front of her neighbor's house. The movers happened to be robbers. Just fast forward to the 2 minute mark.
