A sudden call came into Jimmy Gilleece’s bar this past March. A newly married woman who had spent the afternoon at the dive beach bar couldn’t find her wallet. She didn’t care about her ID, credit cards, or $150 in cash, but her wedding ring was just inside.
Gilleece, 42, didn’t like the idea that a theft could have happened at his place, so he spent hours searching 16 different cameras, watching the woman’s every step until she went to sit on a bench outside and left when her ride arrived. Within minutes, a young man in a hoodie (连帽衫) approached the bench, put something in his pocket, and walked off. Gilleece posted a clip on the bar’s Facebook page. “I didn’t want to criticize him,” he said. “I just asked if anybody knew who the guy was.” Within hours, Gilleece got a text message from 17-year-old Rivers Prather, who admitted taking the wallet and said he’d done it because he hadn’t eaten in two days. Thinking the ring was fake, he threw the wallet into the ocean and took the money to buy a sandwich.
Gilleece, unsure whether he believed Prather, told the teenager to meet him at the docks(码头). There, they got to talking, and Prather said that he wasn’t getting along with his family and had been living in the woods for a week. Gilleece, a father of two, took stock of(审视) Prather― his small body, his flushing(涨得通红的) cheeks一and saw him for what he was: more of a kid than a criminal.
However, the police were already on the case and because of the missing ring, Prather could be facing severe charges. Gilleece decided to help. He employed two local divers to search the waters where Prather had thrown the wallet. Meanwhile, the police wanted Gilleece to bring the teen down to the station. Instead, Gilleece called the police and told them, “He’s going to be at the docks with me tomorrow.”
