Milwaukee, WI — Earlier this month, Nicole Schneider and Jesse Rodriguez, along with their roommate, who remains unnamed, were burglarized. After being robbed of their computers, close, and other items, these roommates did what anyone else would’ve done and they called 911. But they received no help from police and resorted to solving their own crime — an act that would land one of them in a jail cell.

“He had slipped into the window next to ours, into my roommates bedroom,” said Schneider. “Grabbed a bunch of his stuff and walked out the front door and grabbed my laptop as he walked out.”
After they reported the crime to police, Schneider started watching Craigslist and saw her computer go up for sale. So, she called the Milwaukee police department to let them know she found the culprit — twice.
“I was dead certain it was my computer,” she said. “And I called the police again and the man who answer the phone was like, ‘Oh they were suppose to call you back,’ but they never did.”
After not getting any help from police, as TMJ4 reports, “Schneider and her roommate set up a meeting with the suspected burglar at the West Milwaukee Starbucks. Her roommate went inside to meet him. He matched the serial number to Schneider’s computer and then noticed that the suspected burglar was wearing his clothes.”
When Schneider’s roommate saw this man wearing his clothes, he became upset and tried to get back his things, right there on the spot..........https://thefreethoughtproject.com/after-cops-refuse-to-help-roommates-solve-burglary-on-their-own-then-they-were-arrested/
