Additional details have emerged about new federal charges filed against Lawrence business owners Guy and Carrie Neighbors.
According to federal court documents, the couple were charged with concealing a record with the intent of impairing an investigation.
The charges, filed Aug. 8, allege that the Neighborses refused to turn over sales documents related to a computer that they had listed for sale on eBay. Investigators had determined that the computer had been stolen from Kansas University's William Allen White School of Journalism and Mass Communications. The sales documents provided information on whom the Neighborses had purchased the allegedly stolen computer from.
The couple operate the Yellow House, a Lawrence store that sells used merchandise.
They were taken into custody and booked into Douglas County Jail. A jail spokeswoman said the Neighborses were released to federal agents Monday morning. Other details weren't immediately available.
The new charges are in addition to 19 counts that they sold stolen property, and they also face federal drug charges in a separate case.
For nearly three years, the couple have said allegations that they've knowingly sold stolen goods were false. And they've repeatedly accused law enforcement and prosecutors of corruption.

They are just simple crooks. Lock them up for a few years.

Wow, "innocent" people refused to hand over sales reciepts indicating who sold them stolen property?I can't wait to see how Alex spins this one.

"Neighborses"? Is that the correct plural?
twaldaisy (anonymous) says…
I was thinking the plural would be Neighbors', but I could be wrong. As for not wanting to hand over the paperwork, make a copy and keep the copy. I realize they are ultra paraonoid of the cops, but they also have cameras so if the paperwork "disappeared" it would be on the tape. But again, just make a copy and go on. Man, you just can't make this stuff up any more.

No you weren't, gl0ck. I didn't see any seventh-grade poetry.

Alexander stated yesterday that it was simply that Carrie was not willing to hand over her own Computer discs that were to be sold with the computer. He made it sound that they would be out of jail soon cause its a petty thing. hmmmm they are in Federal custody Alexander doesnt sound very "petty" to me. Even if the police had nabbed carrie alone, if it wasnt that serious then the feds would have dropped it instead of taking BOTH of them in to Federal custody. Alexander take your prozac get your inhaler and sit by the phone to wait for the call to tell you when visiting hours will take place. If you are in oregon which is one place you stated then they can call but dont hold your breath if you are in the foreign location you stated you were atI think The Neighbors Have said so many lies that they really by now dont remember the truth they believe that their lies are the truth and have passed that on to their children.

Informed is correct (as is the LJW). If I see one more apostrophe used at the end of a word (with or without an "s" following the apostrophe!) to indicate a plural, I'm gonna have to smack someone. ;-) I don't know why the "s" at the end of a word makes people think they need an apostrophe to form a simple plural.Actually, I wouldn't be so rude as to call someone out for committing such an abomination on his/her own post (meaning: I grit my teeth a lot) but since Newell Post brought up the subject by questioning the correct spelling, I feel okay about venting a little.Here's a review:Simple plural:Jail is a great place for the Neighborses.Singular possessive: It's both amusing and gratifying to think of Carrie Neighbors's arse sitting in jail.Plural possessive: Just think how nice it would be if the Neighborses' arses remained in jail a good, long time and we were spared their self-pitying posts.Here's a simple cheat sheet to bookmark, in case you're ever feeling unsure of those plurals and/or possessives:http://www.e-grammar-editing.com/pluralspossessives.htmlBe sure to read all the way to the bottom of the page, where they review how to pluralize numerals and dates (hint: chuck that danged apostrophe again!).

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you, Py!! I, too, grit my teeth a lot over the multitude of spelling and grammar mistakes.Whew! I feel better now.

lol you all are great.

Grammar Nazis. So it's been 30 years and I can't remember the small stuff. LOL

Common sense prevails at last--for now.

Frankly, I relish the grammarical "mistake"'s.( and can I get a slice of Py with that? )
Pywacket (anonymous) says…
Oh, t_r_a, you are SO gonna get a slice of me!! Now go to the blackboard and write "grammatical" 100 times and "mistakes" 200 times. ;-)Now, twaldaisy, dear, please don't lump us all in with the grammar nazis.. I disapprove of them, too, and think their error (rudeness and disrespect) usually trumps the supposed grammatical error of the person they're correcting, often as they completely ignore the point of the person's post and just zero in on some harmless little typo. (Sometimes I approve and even do that myself, however, when the poster is a complete jerk or a bigot and it seems fitting to hit below the belt!)Most of us are more relaxed about forum posting than we would be with more formal writing, so a little leeway seems in order. That said, it's still painful to see awful, repeated errors, when you get the impression that the person probably writes the same way on a job application. Grammar and spelling aren't rocket science--and whether it's fair or not, people are perceived as more or less intelligent depending on their mastery of their native language. So why not put a little effort into it?

Wow wonder why my 1:54 comment got removed, I used no foul language or called any names. Maybe the truth hurts I don't know. And thanks Py for the leeway, my thinking exactly when people are blogging including myself (I tend to relax a bit more and not be so formal as if I were writing my dissertation).

I'm guessing AJ's parents told him to stfu. As for ending up in Cuba I'd pity the detainies. They would be conspiracy theoried to death. I know a lot of Muslims, they hate gossip and slander.
been_there (anonymous) says…
His parents started two new IDs on yesterday's blog and promptly got one kicked off AGAIN. I'm amazed they are able to resist the urge to blog here today, they haven't been able to in the past. Maybe their lawyer is keeping them in sight at all times to keep them from hanging themselves.

twaldaisy~ I'm dying to know what naughty things you and t_r_a posted. I had the same thing happen the other day--I was truly mystified as to why my very innocuous post was removed.It would be nice (since you know they're monitoring the thread) if they'd either let you know what the offense was or admit that the post had been removed in error.

Py: "Oh, t_r_a, you are SO gonna get a slice of me!! Now go to the blackboard and write "grammatical" 100 times and "mistakes" 200 times. ;-)"Whoa... double usage agreement violation comment removal!I guess that's what I get for messing with the Gramminatrix( ... but she's so hard to resist when she's... emphatic ) .,;-)
twaldaisy (anonymous) says…
That's just it Py, I didn't feel I was naughty. No cuss words, no name calling. Heck when I called you a grammar Nazi I was worried it would be taken out of context and removed, but hoped that the humor came through and it seems it did. I did say stupid is as stupid does, but have seen that in other posts. I did speculate on why their son is no longer blogging and actually gave him credit for supporting his parents and being devastated by the events of the last 4 years.

Knew they were out and she is subjecting us to her poetry again. Interesting though, her posts today aren't showing up in her comment history.
been_there (anonymous) says…
For that matter, the story she was posting on has been removed. Kudos to the LJW for realizing they needed to shut it down since it involved an accident death and YH was making a tragic death worse.
