Via WTNH-TV:
Police say 22-year old Nikolaus Trombley was caught on tape, stealing the lawnmower from East Lyme High School. Police say he stole it in the middle of the night and then took it for a ride.
Police say Trombley told them he was drunk and looking for a place to sleep when he broke into a trailer behind East Lyme High School. He was looking for the keys to the school when he spotted keys to a Scag Mower and decided to go on a joy ride instead.
Police say Trombley rode the three miles to his parent’s house, mowed their lawn and was on his way to return the mower when he abandoned it near the intersection of Boston Post Road and Spring Rock Road. He’s charged with third degree larceny and burglary.

Report Post »This kind O LM would not be good fer bidniz. Yer customers could not afford the rates.( if yer in the grass cutt’n bidniz) Of course you would cut their lawn in 2/12 min. or if you sold em, you’d sell one every 2-4 yrs.maybe. Starve to death. Not w/ 5 gals to the 1/4 mi.
I only own this one cause I bought it when I won the Lottery. Bought it at NASA rocket propelled lawn mower equiptment LLC. Squandered all my munny on wild wimmens and lots of songs. they sang for me. Munny gone, on hard times, can’t afford gas/rocket fuel for the dam thing.

Posted on April 28, 2011 at 9:40pmThat is one way of putting it; though the fact he did not charge his parents for mowing of their lawn would most likely fall in the area of charity.

Posted on April 28, 2011 at 9:23pmHe paid so much to public schools, he probably thought he ought to get something for his money, because the kids are not benifiting with an education. Public schools are not teaching kids nothing but liberal garbage.

I hope it was at least a Grasshopper mower, it would be embarrasing if he stole a junky one.

Sad but true, I have a nephew who refuses to hold a steady job due to, in his words, “the nation OWES it to ME!!!” My own parents support him and his wife to no end, giving them everything they wish for, and even went so far as to cut me out of their will to give it all to him (no problems here from my perspective).
