From San Juan County Sheriff Rob Nou
On Monday, August 27, 2012, an 18-year-old Eastsound man was arrested by deputies on Orcas Island and charged with 3 counts of burglary. Over the past 10 days there had been a series of burglaries and thefts in the Eastsound area.
Orcas deputies were able to identify a suspect involved in the burglaries of the Salmonberry School, the Children’s House, and a private garage. The subject was located and arrested without incident Monday evening.
A search warrant was served subsequent to the arrest, and some of the property taken in the burglaries was recovered by deputies. The investigation is on-going.

Kudos to the cops!
Seriously, what kind of scumbag steals from non-profit preschools?
I think that a required part of his community service (hopefully after some time served) should be to go to the schools he robbed, meet the little kids and have to explain to them who he is and why the stole from them.
A healthy dose of humility would be good for him.
