You got lucky. You got ****ing lucky. I had a university incident involving less than probably $50 in damage to a ****ing parking boot and UT decided to press charges. All told, it's probably cost me anywhere from $2500-$3500 to get all this **** cleared up. But learn from this mistake. On a sidenote, I believe if I was caucasian, the dean of parking wouldn't have pressed charges. Race does play a part in it. I firmly believe that after witnessing some of the bull**** I went through while potheads who get caught or publicly intoxicated people get far less severe punishments than I did...because they're white.
Because it is not so clear to me that someone acknowledges being an accomplice to burglary when he uses words like "a buddy of mine wanted to check out the student finance office for some minor funds". That said, as I said, I wish him well - if this actually happened.
Bring a hockey puck to the hearing, if theres a female/gay male in charge use the puck pickup line. Good luck, learn from your mistakes

I think we've gone over this before, but I'm not believing a word unless I get some pictures. Seriously Chad, if you want to cement your position in the ClutchBBS Hall of Fame, then you will take a bunch of pictures. Go to the Student Finance office and take dozens of pictures, from all different angles. If a security guard questions you, just tell him that you're "getting visual proof for an internet message board", and that there's no way that you're "casing the joint", despite what it looks like. Then discreetly ask him, "how often do they patrol around here?" Then smile, laugh nervously and start edging away. Take two steps and then make a break for it. After you get arrested and booked again. Ask them to get a copy of your mug shot, and the use of a scanner and internet access. After you upload that pic onto the board then, AND ONLY THEN, will you have my grudging acceptance of your legitimate place among the ClutchBBS elite. Go and grab that chance to be the man, the myth, and the legend of 3814. Godspeed Chad.
3814 is either a MacBeth protege or he has a lot of bad luck and likes to share it with the board. http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=93639 I'm sure the guys in prison won't like that. Edit - I was searching for the infamous ride, ride thread to read again.
for the record. i'm damn glad that i got caught. it's given me the opportunity to look long and hard in the mirrow, think about priorities, what i want to do with my life -- and how to refocus so that i can be a better person, and a contributing member of society.
maybe 3 situations -- all within the last year. damn glad i got caught before this has the chance to become a habit, and become something bigger. ...one being grabbing 3 x-box games from a guys room - because this guy pissed off my g/f at the time and was spreadin untrue stories about her...and then 2 that i'll state soon.
alright...full update *************************************** on october 7, canadian thanksgiving reading break, i stayed at my school for the weekend. they closed the snack shop, and my buddy and i wanted some chips. we were walking by, and he saw a window that was slipped open. he pulled it open, our plan was just to grab a couple bags of chips and leave. he climbed through, i followed. i grabbed chips and left...he stayed in and cracked open the till, taking around 80 bucks - but causing damage to the till as well. he gave my 40 of it. we said we'd never mention what happened again. then on the 17th...i lost a big bet i had with a friend and was pissed...i'm not a kid that is in need of money, i have enough to get by quite well. but i lost a big bet, was vulnerable...told my friend that i lost it...he said he knew a place with a couple hundred bucks. i told him i didn't wanna be involved. he told me he'd do all the work, he just wanted me to watch out for him...i agreed...stupidly. so we entered through a sliding window of a classroom...he went down the hall and started cutting open a thin sliding metal window thing to get into the finance office while i walked around and nervously kept watch, but more just wanted to get the hell out of there. it didn't seem worth it...and obviously in retrospect, it wasn't. as he was through and pulling the metal away, the security guard came from the opposite side from where i was watching...we were both caught. he called the police and the dormitory dean. we spent the night in questioning - two seperate cops...didn't see my friend the whole time. i denied the snack shop event, he told them about it -- i eventually did after knowing that they knew every detail about it from my friend. the police decided to drop charges, saying that the college would do more than enough to us. i spent the night in the holding cell...and two days in my dorm room without any outside contact. had a meeting with the disciplinary committee yesterday. told my family about it...my girlfriend...and all that. i'm now at my brother's house for a week - as i'm suspended. i also have to do 200 hours of community service at the campus by the end of the school year. it will average out to be about 2 hours a day - building projects or shovelling snow or whatever. the discipline committee asked me what i thought would be a good punishment - i told them genuinely and tearfully, that i deserve more than they could give me...but that the punishment should be an amount that makes them trust me after i'm done serving it. they decided that 200 hours of free labour will demonstrate my committment to earning their trust back. ********************************************* the general reaction from others at the school...is shock. everybody is saying that my friend and i are the last people they would expect to do such a thing. everybody is shocked. people are saying that they thought we were two of the nicest guys they'd ever met, they didn't understand why - and i don't either - and they couldn't believe the stories that they were hearing. i didn't think...i didn't care. i messed up. and i now realize how my decisions affect all of those around me. i was stupid and i truly believe that i'm a better person for what i've gone through. i'm going to have to earn the trust of those around me...including the trust of my family and girlfriend. but i am willing to do whatever it takes. i've been blaming God for a lot of the problems in my life (i'm impotant, i might have a tumor - had the scan 2 months ago, i have to take testosterone shots every two weeks - reminding me everytime of the problems in my life, my parents divorce and how it split my family...and other issues in my life)...but i now realize that the only way i can be alright is to rely on God, rather than blaming him. i've done a lot of reading in the Bible, and a lot of thinking about my life and the direction i want it to go. and i will be better for going through this.
So a suspension....and community service? They didn't kick you out? Good stuff. You dodged a bullet. I'm glad they had a heart. Sounds to me like you have rehabilitated yourself, son! You've had a very odd few months, no? Welcome back from the darkside.
3814, trust me on this, give up the life of crime. You are to the point where serious prison time is around the corner waiting for you. Make the right decision with your life and don't go around that corner.
Congratulations on taking a terrible situation and turning it into a life altering event for the better. Best of luck to you.
