All I am going to say is, yes he was terribly wrong. However, everyone in Laredo steals... that is what laredo is known for nothing good. Everyone I know from other states say the same things, only in laredo it is possible to get away with things like this. Also, uh i am alomost positive he didn't act alone. what about the verification from the "sales person" in grainger. I know for a FACT they need to verify the information. So i think there should be 2 more people in on this... the grainer person and the person who helped him verify... I am just saying... I am almost ashamed to say I am from Laredo.

This kid has stolen from several other companies as well. Only 26 yrs old and already a seasoned con artist.
