I guess you could say Hinkley had been punished and was no longer a treat to society.
Neighbor's son was a continuing threat as he continued to drive although prohibited. It was cat and mouse with him and the police. They often came looking for him and could not catch him.
Reminds me that this guy lived up the hill cater corner from me and once parked his mother's car in front of the house and it drifted into a large bush at the corner of my property. If not for the bush it might have ended up in my living room. I called that bush the "Sloman Shield."
