Police flush out teens who cooked poop in microwave

Kids being kids. I did silly things when I was their age and I got caught and I kinda turned out ok.

Who on earth owns a $3,500 dollar microwave? Honestly!

Kids these days.

Don't even know how to pull off a decent prank. Poop in a microwave? No substance. No romance. Tsk, tsk.

Wow! A $3500 microwave? Is this one of those newfangled ones that gives massages and washes your car too?

I think we need to go easy on these kids. I mean, come on, I know that most of us had to have smirked a little bit when we heard what they did. I, for one, think that we should not penalize malfeasance if it brings a smile to at least a few faces.

Question: How were authorities able to verify that this was, indeed, human feces? It could have been one of those burritos they sell at 7-11 - it's almost impossible to tell the difference between the two.

It cost $3500 because it was an industrial microwave. Not the same as the one you have at home. But punishing these kids with a felony is going too far. Make them replace the microwave. Lesson learned.

The store may sue them too for loss of business. I could never shop in there again. It grosses me out.

Who could smirk? All I could think of was the poor clerk and whoever had to clean up the mess. The kids should be charged with whatever is appropriate--if the microwave was worth $3,500, then a felony is right. They're juveniles; their records won't stick with them. And maybe they and others will learn that even teens are responsible for their actions.

I agree that they need to pay and do some community service. But to charge them with a felony is a little harsh

Too many teenagers think that can do whatever they want. I think they all should be set to work cleaning public toilets...let the punishment fit the crime. And yes, they need to pay $3500 PLUS loss of business charges THEMSELVES through community service work programs. Keep them busy so they are too dang tired for "Pranks" like this.

I know two of these brats, they deserve a lot more than community service, this isn't the first time one of them did something this stupid. As a person who had Hep A from some idiot food server who didn't wash his or her hands, this isn't a joke, it's a serious health issue and these three should do some time in orange jumpsuits, a lot of time.

i love those boys.
i live next door to one of them.
this story made my day.
dont take it too seriously.
it was just a joke

SAMIAM | 12:21 a.m. April 24, 2008

THE 3500.00 IS NOT JUST FOR THE MIKE BUT THE COST OF CLEAN UP AND RELATED EXPENSES ALSO. SURE,MOST BOYS DO STUNTS AS TEENS AND SOME ARE A BIT OVERBOARD LIKE THIS ONE. IT ISNT MURDER BUT IT IS PRETTY VILE. TOO BAD IT DIDNT EXPLODE RIGHT AWAY AND COVER THEM WITH THEIR PRANK.BUT MOSTLY THEYRE STUPID. HELLO... CAMERAS EVERYWHERE IN THE STORE.THEY GOT CAUGHT AND THATS THE FUNNIEST PART

hahha! | 8:50 p.m. Aug. 17, 2009
