I just do not understand how some people can be so heartless as to steal from people this way. I hope this guy learns his lesson.

A judge ordered Philip Kolinski, 73, of Carrollton Township, Mich., to wash the veterans monument outside the Saginaw County Governmental Center after he was found guilty of soliciting metal donations for a sculpture dedicated to Iraq War veterans that was never built, the Saginaw News said. Instead of using the metal for a monument, he sold it and kept the money, the paper reports. Click here to read the Saginaw News report. Saginaw County District Judge A.T. Frank also ordered Kolinski to to pay $9,000 in restitution and $2,095 in fees and fines. A second man, James M. Arnst, 45, is awaiting trial for his alleged role in the scam. |

I am glad they caught him and he was successfully charged but I think a good canning would be a better option then the toothbrush. I just am unconvinced that the cleaning will be enough to keep him from repeating the offense or to keep others from trying a new scam.
At least the memorial will look nice.
