Theft is the word here... Burglary is entering a home when your not suppose to be in it. Ricci took the things while he worked there. But Ed Smart had several people working in the home at the time. I guess Ed should have took the Jeep back and paid out cash to Ricci. Whatever the deal was it had to be sticky for Ed and not a wise choice as we all now know. What do you think happened on the Ed & Ricci deal? Do you recall hearing Ed say that Ricci was still working in the home as of September 2001? (I am not sure how to take your message)
I was agreeing with what you posted, and just marvelling at WHY would MR. Smart have him back in the home, when at the time he didn't know if Recci was one who was in on, or did the theft.(clarification/burglary)
But not for the purpose of putting down Mr. Smart, as we all do things that in hindsight we wish we hadn't.
My question was...did MR. Smart report the theft to the police at the time?..and...I don't remember about Sept. 2001. sorry. I am going to think on it and try to find out tho.
Now the question is raised here IF HE DID IN FACT GO BACK TO WORK IN THE HOUSE.I think what you posted said he did. Sorry, I am in a hurry here..um..I always had that impression, but I do want to check on it. You think he worked there after the theft, don't you?
