Default Dinghy Thief Apprehended in Mazatlan (long)

It's all comparative Scott...... they have a boat that they spent their
hard earned money on and were idling at the dock while this poverty stricken
thief is working hard collecting inflatables to sell so he can afford a
sailboat.

I think the USA should adopt the penalty system used in that country.
