The point of this story is not that "Charlie" was a great masterpiece sculpture, but the fact two scumbags thought that stealing something was funny, and they will probably get away with it. Next time they are stealing something it will probably be something bigger and worth more, because they will know they will probably get away with it.

The "boys" they are referring to are the two teenage boys found with the men. It states clearly they found FOUR people, two men and two teenage BOYS.
It's the two boys that haven't been charged, the two MEN have been, on first-degree theft and second-degree criminal mischief charges. They believe the MEN stole the statue, not sure what the BOYS have done yet.
It might be time to get your eyes checked.

Re-read the article above, you'll see that there were actually FOUR males caught. TWO were 21, and the other TWO were under 18 (hence the word "teenage"). The article calls these two teenagers "Boys". Reading comprehension, it used to be taught in the bay area, too bad.

DRIVER - I understood the story to say that they found 4 people - 2 men and 2 boys - cutting up the statue. The 2 MEN, Marvin L. Terry, 21, and Mark C. Santos, 21 were arrested and the investigation is continuing to determine the involvement of the BOYS. At this time they (the BOYS) have not been charged with any crime.
I totally agree with "what is this town coming to?" and then some!!

So... they call 21 year olds 'boys'
According to an e-mail from Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Pat Downing, the investigation is continuing to determine the involvement of the boys. What is wrong with this statement:
At this time they have not been charged with any crime. Law enforcement officers believe the men stole Charlie while under the influence of intoxicants and chose to cut up the statue after reading local media reports and worrying about the consequences.
No charges for a crime committed - and they may have been under the influence - gee so that makes it ok to steel - and try to destroy the evidence - since they were scared little boys and did not want to get into trouble.
Gee people - what is this town coming to?

Wow, wouldn't it be great if the police in this town were as worried about rapists and drug dealers as they were about this wooden statue? Pretty ridiculous if you ask me.
