Maine SUV stolen, crashes

Friday, October 10, 2008

SANFORD (AP) - A joy ride in a Hummer ended badly for a pair of teenage girls, who crashed the SUV into a house and are facing burglary and felony theft charges.

The two suspects, who are 15 and 17 and from Sanford, went into a house in town and took the keys to a 2003 H2 Hummer valued at $30,000 on Tuesday afternoon.

The vehicle was located via On-Star in South Portland. Police there were notified, a chase followed and the Hummer crashed into a house.

The two suspects received medical treatment at a Portland area hospital.

Lock them up and sue the parents for damages plus medical expenses!

How about lock them up and when they turn 18 hold THEM accountable for the damages they caused. At 15 and 18 they are old enough to know right from wrong. I don't believe the parents should be held accountable for children who are "almost" adults.

I agree with your idea too. IF they are under control until 18! This State is too liberal on out of control minors. Until then who has to pay deductables, etc. for the damages. You can't wait a year or three to repair the house. Put a lien on the parents and let them worry about getting their money back from these punks!

hold them responsible for their own actions. why not make them an example, and the other kids would think twice about being like this.
