Stolen property sale FAIL

I don't know a lot about fencing stolen property, but I'm pretty sure this isn't a good way to do it:

Last Thursday, Fred and Betty McAteers were victims of a senseless, heartless crime when vandals tipped over a huge headstone for family members buried at Woodlawn Cemetery.

This week, the McAteers were victimized again, when they arrived at a home they own only to find it had been ransacked and furniture stolen.

"It's horrible that someone would break into your home and steal your stuff," Fred McAteer said.

But if they were violated, they were soon victorious, after making a shocking discovery about one of their neighbors.

The McAteers, who live in Ocklawaha, arrived at the home in Ocala in the 800 block of Southeast Fifth Street on Monday and discovered it had been burglarized.

They left and returned Tuesday morning and called police. They then decided to walk around the neighborhood to see if they could find anyone who might have some knowledge about the break-in.

When they walked up to a five-unit apartment building, they saw their wooden dresser sitting on the front lawn.

They called the Ocala police again, and detectives arrested 22-year-old Branden Mitchell Gardiner and charged him with one count of residential burglary and one count of dealing in stolen property.

Yeah, next time, you might not want to try to sell your ill-gotten gains within walking distance of the place you swiped it from, dumbass.
