There is a story in the Hartlepool Mail regarding an 81 year old man who was conned out of £1150 for non existent gardening work.
The sentence this worthless piece of scum received was a 12 months suspended jail sentence and 150 hours unpaid work.
I'm shocked this man wasn't sent to Jail.

The way things are these days, I'm actually not shocked he wasn't sent to jail.

Surely that's exactly the right punishment? He took money for no work: now he must work for no money.

If the sum is actually paid back in full. For such a despicable act surely deserves far greater punishment. I would question the morals of an employer to take on this man if this is really the case.

The courts are soft on criminals these days.

That's just the way it is.
