Probably two members of the volunteer fire service in Sussex County, Delaware who were just out for some fun, like the watermelon throwers from Lewes FD. Joe, any idea on the fate of the mail box marauders? I know that they all think it was a big joke and would do it again if the opportunity arises.

I caught the one in the black shirt sniffing around my farm when he thought no one was home. Thought i was doing him a favor by letting him go without a hole in him. I guess i made the wrong decision.

Just wait;when these 2 are released not one word will be said.Just like every other time;one day someone will see one or both on the street thinking that they escaped.In this game of catch and release every one in the free world knows about the catch.Everyone is on their own to find out about the release.Even the one who turned them in and testified against them.
