"We are often reminded that our community is our strongest asset," he said.
Police also ask for help in locating the stolen television.

Most thieves have good jobs...LOL
Stealing is wrong, most of us agree (except those who steal). I’m surprised that Wal-mart security did not catch this guy at the door!
But working for a wage (or as a professional, for a large fee) and theft are not even related.
MOST THIEVES HAVE JOBS. Bernie Madoff had a good one. Lance Armstrong was another hard worker, along with his famous friends in the baseball industry, who were thieves.
Saying that thieves are people who do not have jobs is like saying that we all know that blacks are lazy and Indians are drunks who can’t be trusted, and so on and so forth, including the French immigrants to Maine who were treated as trash by the Klu Klux Klan in Maine in the era of Herbert Hoover.
Ask anyone who works in store security, like a place like Wal-mart, and they will tell you that the majority of thefts from their organizations come from WITHIN THE COMPANY, by EMPLOYEES WHO HAVE ACCESS TO CODES and the warehouse.
I have been poor for a lot of my life and became homeless after Vietnam, BUT I DO NOT STEAL. However, as I age, I am no longer surprised by the huge amount of dishonesty that goes on among human beings. Including, of course, characterizing thieves as people without a job.
PS A prominent woman in my town whose husband owned several businesses stole $5,000 from her job at the United States Postal Service, and was prosecuted and convicted. She had a gambling habit.
PS The average age and sex of a person in Maine, convicted of embezzlement of large amounts of money (over $100,000), is a woman in her 50s, who has been a bookkeeper for twenty years, and stolen all of that time, as friends and neighbors trusted her with their money.

If I go into Walmart and buy a bunch of stuff, and then, one small pack of batteries from the electronics dept. I always set off the doorway alarm. I am soon approached in a split second by the stores 87 year old greeter wanting to know what I bought. I've set that alarm off so many times, I'm surprised there isn't a warning poster of me on the wall. How the hell do you sneak out with a "sixty inch" TV? I can't seem to make it by the greeter with a two pack of triple "A" batteries........
