I think it'd be a pretty stupid 14 year old that would think he could get
into a plane , with no training, and not cause any damage. The DA could very well try to make that point in court and would probably be successful. Though I did not find it in the Alabama laws I know that in TN, GA, and KY theft of anything worth over 500 bucks is a felony. Since I could not find it in black and white I did not mention it, but I am sure that will be the case in Alabama as well..if I find anything on that line I will let ya know ![]() In Avweb article it says the van was stolen from the grandmother?

Hi,
Well here it is. Section 13A-8-3 Theft of property in the first degree. (a) The theft of property which exceeds two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500) in value, or property of any value taken from the person of another, constitutes theft of property in the first degree. (b) The theft of a motor vehicle, regardless of its value, constitutes theft of property in the first degree. (c) Theft of property in the first degree is a Class B felony.

Actually, it would probably be a pretty typical 14 year old. Jose -- My other car is up my nose. for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |
