## Resource

Miles Grant Simon, a 50-year-old repeat burglar with 25 prior convictions, got caught again—this time stealing iPads, an Xbox, and a purse from a home while the owner was gardening, then cashing in less than 20 minutes later. His lawyer pleaded for mercy, citing his struggles with addiction and a proposed rehab program, but the judge slammed his “abysmal history” and past failures in recovery programs. Despite a heartfelt apology letter, the judge saw no real change—and sentenced him to 19 months in prison, denying home detention, though he may be transferred to the Grace Foundation after release.
