GUELPH, Ont. - Other vandals use crowbars or bricks to smash windows, but Michael Cain's weapon of choice is a frozen T-bone steak.
Cain smirked in court on Thursday as the Crown attorney described how a stolen T-bone steak was thrown through a car window during a drunken rampage. Justice Norman Douglas was not amused by the 18-year-old's alcohol abuse. "If you don't get that drinking problem corrected you will be going down a slippery slope," Douglas said. "A man like you who drinks to the point where he doesn't remember what he did has a real problem."
Cain, 18, pleaded guilty to theft under $5,000 for stealing the steak from inside a garage freezer during a break-in in the east-end Guelph on April 6. He also pleaded guilty to four counts of mischief, as well as one charge of failing to comply with the conditions of his release. He was given a suspended sentence on Thursday, 15 months probation and ordered him to repay $812.93 in damages from smashing the car windows. In all, six cars were vandalized during the drunken attack. The steak - still frozen - was returned to the owner intact.
