This will end up being just one more case where someone is not made to take responsibility for his own actions. Hope he doesnt kill anybody when he pulls his next trick.

If he is retarded and others are putting him up to this kind of behavior whomever the others are they should be arrested as well. Using a retarded young man to steal for them is despicable.
If the young man is retarded and doing this on his own he needs to be in an inpatient facility where he can be constantly monitored and educated.

No matter if he has mental illness or not, he broke the law. He should be an inpatient in a facility for his mental illness.

Just because someone is mentally challenged does not mean they can go ahead and break the law. If he was indeed put up to it, then those people should also be arrested.
