It would be nice to pay a reward but none is payable because law
officers cannot collect rewards. They are required to apprehend
without motives of a reward because it is their job. Only private
citizens can collect rewards. Thanks any way.

One burgler was fingered by a crack addicked girl and confessed. He
flipped on the other two... one of which is still being chased.

Now both burglers caught have confessed. They will get felony prison
sentences. I will report it here when that happens.

Um ... simple burglary where there was no human hurt, no prior record, local
kids, most of the stuff recovered, confessed and saved the state the time
and trouble of prosecuting and proving ...

My best guess is a felony conviction with no more than a year (probably six
months) in the county pokey with another 5 years of probation.

Not that that is right or wrong, just a guess. Let's see how close I am.

You'er *probably* right, but in my neck of So. Cal the DA doubles down
when a burglar takes guns. State Pen. and more than a year in
custody, even for a first offense. (I see him at the local shooting
range from time to time.)

Since when does the DA establish the sentence? In most states the judge
does that.

A suggestion. In lieu of giving money, offer to take him and his wife
out for dinner to get briefed on the case.

He should be able to accept that with no problem.

The DA effectively establishes the sentence whenever it's a plea
bargain. The judge signs off on it - and they've been known to turn
down a deal on rare occasion. But the DA has remarkable power in our
system.

Perhaps the local police have a charity they look after or even
something like a little league team? You could donate the reward to
them if it feels right.
