Stealing Missouri Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder's car totally isn't worth it; Jacob Shepard gets seven years in prison

Seven years in prison. That's where 18-year-old Jacob Shepard will be for stealing Missouri Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder's car.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that Shepard was also sentenced to a concurrent four years for crashing the car into a Shooter's Gun Shop last April. Charges of torching the car were dropped, so Shepard has that going for him.

Kinder did what every cop will tell you not to do: He left his keys in his Ford Flex crossover.

Shepard's excuse was that he'd taken Ecstasy and was drinking when he stole the car and rammed it into a wall.

Still facing trial is 21-year-old Adam Cromer, who is charged with stealing, tampering and attempted burglary. Cromer says he's not guilty.

Lots of lesson learning here. Kinder learned why you never leave your keys in your car. And Shepard learned why you never take Ecstasy and ram a car into a gun shop.

@concered citizen
i completely agree, but i also think that Adam Cromer should have got the same punishment. regardless of who he turned in he is just as guilty.

The kid's actually kind of cute. I'm surprised Kinder didn't request that the judge release the kid to him so he could oversee the kid's "rehabilitation." Maybe he figured the kid wouldn't look good in a lycra cycling outfit.

The crime does not warrant that stiff of a punishment. If the guy wasn't some political. Not only would this article not be written but the kid would probably get probation. As usual unfair politicking instead of proper judicial procedure.
