John Robinson Accuses Police Of Wrong Doing


Click on this image to enlarge. Then take a few minutes to read and try to figure out what it says.


"To set the record straight I have decided to put up a post so everyone has the truth as to what occurred in my Family’s Stores.

We had a break in Saturday Night in both of our stores. They broke into our New Store, Robinson’s Personalize-It, first. I have no idea where they gained entry from to the crawl space area but you can access any store from the top. (We discovered our new store RPI was broken into because of the insulation from the ceiling that was left behind in our Jewelry and Clock Store.)They disabled the camera system in RPI that records the parking lot. They then left and broke into our Clock and Jewelry Store. They disabled our auditory alarm systems. Then, they erased our camera system hard drive from another alarm company. We do in fact have two alarm companies we deal with. It appears nothing was stolen only that our store and that some of our records were gone through. We do not store customer information here and NO CUTOMERS information or items were touched. As they are locked in another very secure area of our store. During the time frame we believe the break-ins occurred we have eye- witnesses that saw more than one police car parked behind our store.

The Maryland State Police were called and took a very complete report. We cleaned up the mess Sunday and had the Door replaced. The door was broken and two showcases were shattered, but again nothing was stolen. End of first Breaking and Entering.

We stayed at our store working until 11:23pm Sunday Night and had our cameras and alarm system put back in FULL OPERATION . At 12:00am a white male 5’8 -180lbs wearing a black sweatshirt with yellow and white writing, blue jeans, and tan boots broke the front door of our store. He appears to have a blondish scruffy facial hair not a full beard. We have a video of him smashing the front door and then two showcases, grabbing jewelry. Our interior flood lights came on and the entire thing is clearly on video. He proceeded to drop the few pieces of jewelry he grabbed at the door and the other two pieces in the side lot. Again, nothing was successfully stolen. We have turned a copy of the video over to POLICE. And will be posting here if the police give us permission.

I was very upset to realize our Sherriff’s office did an incorrect PRESS RELEASE. This was a breaking and entering not a burglary. We still have not been contacted for a follow up investigation from our Wicomico County Bureau of Investigation.

Our camera hard drive is in the processes to being has been sent to a Federal Agency to see if they can recover the deleted video from the Saturday Night incident. The Criminal Investigation Division of the State Attorneys office has been notified. As we have previously spoken to them regarding some other problems we believe this is the best source. A complete list of events and more that I can not share has also been forwarded to the FBI for investigation.

There is much more to this story I would like to post. But for now I can assure everyone, we are well. We have done NOTHING WRONG. All of our stores, they are open for business. We have not shut down and this place couldn’t ever be any safer with all the agencies involved. I will push this forward and I will not allow anyone to intimidate my family or me."

The man flat out told me NO SHOWCASES were broken into and NOTHING was stolen. I received the call from Robinson on Monday afternoon, so he lied.

Anonymous said...

Wow. You must have really ticked someone off. Why breaking and entering if the purpose is not to steal? Doesn't make a lot of sense.

joealbero said...

I should add, I told him I had heard the front door was busted, glass everywhere and several showcases were busted with glass all over the place as well. He said that wasn't true, no showcases had been broken into.

I have to seriously wonder why he'd flat out lie about something like that?

Is John Robinson actually accusing the Sheriff's Department of being involved in this break in? John, you sure are one stupid fool.

Robinson, you're a mess. Aren't you on probation for firing off a weapon in your store and striking an employee.

You know what Robinson, you're full of crap. Your other stores were closed Monday and Tuesday. I know, I work in the same shopping center. Your lies are catching up with you and everyone in the plaza laughs at you every time you come by and act all important. Semi pro skateboarder. We've watched you in the parking lot and laugh our a$$es off because you can't even ride a skateboard. Is your mom still dating rock stars too.

Robinson should live by the old saying that....... "It is better to sit by and look like a fool than open ones mouth and remove all doubt". The guy is good for a few laughs though. Burlar? I almost peed my pants on that one!

Jet Black said...

Come on now. This isn't Oceans Eleven. There are no burglars in this area that are that smart. Disabling camera and all that crap is far fetched in this area. If they did get in they would have certainly taken everything they could grab. I smell a rat and it doesn't surprise me with this guy. Try that story on someone who will believe it.

A B&E is a burglary. If the police are able to catch the suspects, the suspects would be charged with burglary. Burglary 2nd to be specific not to mention the MDOP and theft attempt.

I have to admit that I find his post quite entertaining. Thanks John!

Joe are you sure you didn't write this piece and sign John's name to it. The style of writing is identical to yours.

Knowing where all the security wiring was and to delete the hard drive sure does reak of an inside job.

Not accusing JR of a thing, however a friend, relative or customer very familar to the security operation there between two stores. I just doubt it was all stumbled on by accident.

You just lost my business Mr. Robinson. You will not accuse the Sheriff's Department of any such behavior and get away with it. You should be ashamed of yourself. Your father is rolling in his grave knowing his son has turned into such a louse.

anonymous 10:07, every word of it came from Mr. Robinson, hence the quotation marks in the beginning and end.

Skateboarding keeps him close to the kids. enough said there. He is a world class perv.

However there have been other break-ins in the area the last couple of nights. There is a possible suspect. I just wonder if he is behind all this to cover his tracks. If not he might be clean on this one

Hey fool there is no such thing as a B&E anymore. It is either 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th degree burglary. And if you are home when it happens it is most likely a home invasion. YOU WERE BURGLARIZED, and MDOP occurred. Read up before you start bashing someone.


"BURLARS" WTF IS THAT

joealbero said...

Uh Oh, word on the street is that Robinson may be having numerous sleepless nights over all of this. Things are trickling in little by little and things are now starting to make a whole lot of sense. Oh Johnnie, shame, shame, shame!

Doesn't Robinson work in the educational system too? "Burlars"? No wonder the kids are messed up. And skateboards? It's time to grow up and become a man...

Maybe someone was about to discover their own stolen jewelry was displayed in his store and maybe he knows the burglars.

Is his license to sell/buy gold/silver (2nd hand) current and legal?

I wonder if any of this has to do with the Dancing with the Delmarva Stars-he donated the trophy didn't he? Guess he's an attention whore or something.

I don't know about this break in stuff and could care less about Robinson, but you go way too far accusing a guy of being a pedaphile.

That's serious and for you to joke about it or insinuate it is irresponsible!

Get off this blog! You degrade what Joe is trying to do here.

BaCop1 said...

Maybe this guy should learn a few Maryland laws. This is absolutely positively a BURGLARY(either in the second or the fourth degree).
Smells fishy from up here in Baltimore.

How do you know that John Robinson isn't a pedophile?
How many middle-aged adults try to bond with skate-boarding children?

thomas augustus littleton said...

Leave Mr. Robinson alone, you mean people. He was the victim of something of something much worse that a burglary; he was the victim of a "BURLARY!" I don't know quite what that is, but it must pretty bad for the F.B.I. to be involved. This particular "burlary" of a local smaaaaaaall business must threaten homeland security or something. In addition to this horrible "burlary," Mr. Robinson is quite obviously the victim of a horrendous education.

I bet he just put himself high on the list of suspects to accuse Mike Lewis of misinformation! I'd be all over his butt like stink on a monkey. Put some federal auditors in there and give him a full enema. Is he in Tax evasion trouble?

Knowing where all the security wiring was (between two stores yet) and to delete the hard drive sure does reak of an inside job. The burglars could have removed the hard drive faster than deleting it!

I'm not even a computer geek but I can remove a hardrive in 5 minutes, no sweat.

I just doubt it was all stumbled on by accident. Sounds like an inside job to me.

How do I know YOU aren't a pedophile?

That is a ridicules question you asked. What kind of twisted logic do you have? Might as well say the guy might be an alien from Mars because we don’t know that he isn’t.

Accusing someone of being a pedophile can destroy their life -- proven or not.

Anyone willing to do that without proof is an absolute failure as a human being. Some older guy skateboarding (by the way, it’s a real word and has been since the 70s so learn to spell) doesn’t mean a thing. Could be a football coach for that matter, who cares?

You certainly are able to have any opinion of the guy you want, but baseless accusation that he is the most despicable type of perverse criminal proves you are the type of person destroying great blogs like Joe’s.

Be careful what you say. Accusing someone of a crime without being able to back it up can be called criminal defamation. Also, if you know of criminal activity and don’t report it you could be in trouble as well.
I am anonymous as well, but I accuse no one of anything.

Joe, I ask that you allow this post in order for people to be sure they are careful how far they go when posting. I think people get overly excited about some of these topics, but I’m sure you don’t want things to get out of hand even if you don’t like the guy.

Why would anyone go throw so much trouble to break into his store, disable all his "high tech" security, smash stuff, and then leave with nothing.... um, TWICE?!?!?! Are they filming another mission impossible in town? Or, better yet, since the police have now been implicated by him, it appears John has uncovered a conspiracy so complicated it could make the next great Oliver Stone movie! Knock, knock. Who's there? Paranoia and delusion!

Just a few questions and comments about CSI- Robinson; First, someone broke into your RPI store and disabled the camera. Why? Second, you know this because the DNA of some insulation found in your jewelry store matched the insulation in RPI? Next, your jewelry store was broken into, the auditory alarm was disabled, and the security camera hard drive was erased. Again, why? It seems that the person(s) knew where all your alarm/survelliance equipment is located. I'm sure they didn't run around in the store with the alarm going off looking for cameras to disable or a keypad or other alarm-cancelling device. And all of this happened with some police cars parked behind your store??? Finally, after all this went down, you cleaned up and left @11:23PM Sunday night. Well,lo and behold,lightning does strike twice for @ 12:00AM someone smashes your newly repaired door and some showcases and proceeds to help himself to your jewelry!!! He then decided the jewelry was too hot and left without anything. I find this chain of events fascinating!!!I'll bet the local lawmen are having a good chuckle over it ,too!! Did your alarm company call for police response after the auditory alarm was disabled? Why were you found sleeping in your store early Monday AM? Were the door repair people not available for this second emergency? I'm sure the Feds will be all over this one!!

John Robinson has repeatedly proved that he is seriously warped.
Now, he is trying to pretend he is a skateboarding child.
What's next? Neverland Ranch ala Michael Jackson?
Hence, my question. Why are you so adamant that he isn't a pedophile?
I know that I don't want John Robinson anywhere near my children. If you do, that's your business.

@3:11 AM

Again, you miss the point. I was never adamant that the guy was or was not a pedophile. You are not paying attention.

Just because I said you shouldn't make the accusation doesn't mean I am defending the guy. I don't have any evidence to either defend or accuse the guy.

But do you have evidence? If so, why aren't you talking to police? So you say he's a strange guy that hangs out with kids? So what, so do football coaches, baseball coaches, and hundreds of other types of people involved with kid's activities.

As I said, its fine for you to have an opinion of the guy. You can even be suspicious of him and keep your kids away.

But crossing the line an accusing the guy of being a pedophile is just crazy.

And it might be illegal so please watch out.

I've lived in Salisbury since I was 4 years old. If we got rid of everyone who was a little strange the'd probably be about 10 people left.

All I'm asking is you be more responsible with your posts. No liking a guy and wanting to destroy the person are very different things.

Anyone let the police know about this sign? It's actually against the law to booby trap somewhere with the intent to catch a burglar. If someone actually did break in and got hurt, he would be liable.
