[QUOTE=Bnewb;130278]If someone stole your iphone, computer, purse etc from your home or car would the fact that they were caught be reported in your newspaper back home? It's just not newsworthy...unless it's a high profile case or a really slow news day....
They do get caught and it appears to be more often than you think.

Obvious and so right.

Apparently some would like a daily crime and punishment update from the Carribean on their local US news.....Breaking News Crime in Our Town is at an all time low but thieves are at it again in Jamaica, Cuba and the US Virgin Islands more information after the sports weather and the traffic update.
