New York Man Arrested For 99th Time

Story by wnbc.com
Police call a serial burglar who has just been arrested for the 99th time a one-man crime spree.
Cedric McCants, who has been convicted 78 times for burglaries, robberies and grand larcenies, has been jailed 15 times. His longest stint in prison was for four years.
McCants was on parole when police linked him to a series of burglaries in East Garden City, including a break-in at the Department of Motor Vehicles.
Investigators said he steals laptops and then sells them.
Because 67 of his 78 convictions were for misdemeanors, he has received relatively short prison sentences.
Police, who are frustrated by the case, are demanding that prosecutors and judges rectify the problem by ordering a longer sentence than he has received in the past.
In a statement, Nassaus district attorney promised to "push hard for significant upstate prison time for this career criminal."

I studied research on it in a crime patterns class...burglary pays big time in a large city. In Philly, for every burglar caught, only 3 in 1000 ever serve time.
