TV Thief Charged

There was some snitching in Bay View.

A 44-year-old Bay View man was charged today with stealing a wide-screen television from the Zablocki Veterans Affairs Medical Center.

Jeffry Polak, who was charged theft of government property, made his initial appearance in federal court today. If convicted, he faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

Polak is charged with stealing the 52-inch Samsung LCD set. He told residents he was a maintenance worker taking the television to be fixed when he carted it out on April 4.

Numerous relatives and co-workers called to report Polak after details of the theft were published in the Journal Sentinel and his photo from a surveillance camera was released, according to the criminal complaint. Polak reportedly told relatives he threw the television in a landfill, the complaint said.

Good for them. 

1. They should drag him to a different VFW post every night and let each one of them use him like a pinata

   What a scum bag

2. Just waterboard that MF.  Then, waterboard him again.  Then, fix his cavities without the use of novocain.  Then waterboard him again.

3. But let’s not overlook the real tragedy here.  What a waste of a perfectly good 52-inch LCD television.
