A former Buffalo, N.Y., parking meter mechanic has been sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison for stealing thousands of dollars in quarters while on the job.

Prosecutors say it was James Bagarozzo's idea to rig meters to get at the coins. He stole $210,000 over more than eight years, grabbing fistfuls of coins, storing them in a bag in his truck and then rolling and cashing them in at banks.

Bagarozzo apologized during a brief statement. He blamed a gambling addiction and an illness he believed would kill him.

Bagarozzo pleaded guilty to theft in September, along with a former co-worker, Lawrence Charles. Charles admitted stealing $15,000 in quarters over about five years. He's expected to get six months to a year in prison at his Aug. 29 sentencing.

there is no change in his life, besides going to jail.

and if he has good behavior, he'll only do a quarter of his time

I bet his lawyer is gonna charge him major coin.

Breh, I know this is gonna sound crazy, but bear with me here. When you get caught, you know, stealing money, well, you have to pay it back (unless you are a fortune 500 company or something). Wild right?

Could you picture if you didn't though. All like "Yeah I got 10 years in prison but when I get out that five million from the bank robbery will be there waiting for me."

you are retarded. Regional managers make more on the average than that. its 84,000 a year. If you went to community college for 2 years and got your AA degree you would be able to secure a job that pays that much and NOT have to go sit in jail for 2 1/2 years.....

 

[Nuttkase]

Maybe some people want the street cred Dutch. Ever think of that!?!?!
