    Residents kept in the dark about search plans were sometimes startled by officers climbing into their garages or homes. Beth Schiller, of Willsboro, came home to her 100-acre property, where she rarely locked the doors, to find her .22-caliber rifle missing from the corner of her sunroom. There was no note saying officers had entered the home, and a group of troopers who went inside with her said they had no idea why it was missing. They told her to call her husband, a physician, to see if he had it with him at work.

    Only later was she able to determine that officers had found it during a search and taken it for safety. That night, after several rounds of paperwork, the State Police gave it back to her and her husband.

    Uhhh...what in the ever living fuck?

    How is this remotely legal? Since when can cops come on to your property and into your home and search it without a warrant or permission from the owner? Did I miss a memo? Holy shit...

      That jumped out at me as well. Luckily some trigger happy yokels didn’t try to defend the homestead.

      As egregious as it gets. It’s the only thing in this stupid article that’s even remotely worth mentioning.

    3. It took them three hours to find the open manhole through which the prisoners emerged into free society.

    Jesus Christ. If these two guys had actually closed that manhole they’d probably have made it to Kazakhstan before being found out.

    Also, Andrew Cuomo is a schmuck.

      This also shows how absolutely stupid these two guys were. “Hey let’s plan this elaborate escape and then fuck it up and leave this manhole cover off”

      They had to leave the manhole open so Matt could get his giant hog out of it.

    Sheriff Favro acted on his own hunches.

    If American tv and movies have taught me anything, it’s that law enforcement people need to follow their hunches. Also, if you’re only a few days from retirement, you don’t say how much you’re looking forward to that out loud.

    Sheriff Favro’s frustration was compounded when Mr. Cuomo arrived at the command center and told him and all the other non-state employees to leave, said a close friend of the sheriff’s, David Andrews, the director of the local radio station WIRY.

    That is some fucked-up Die Hard “We’re the FBI and we’ll try to notify you when we borrow your men”-type shit right there.

      It would seem more egregious if the guy they kicked out hadn’t taken 3 hours to figure out they had left the prison and then driven off to some random-ass mountain to search. He sounds like kind of an idiot.

    Investigators unintentionally confused and terrified residents.

    We should also thank the media for jumping on every possible sighting as a confirmed one and scaring people all the way from Canada to Pennsylvania.

      I know that the irrational fear stopped at the border. I should have been clearer.

    I’m not sure how 1) is an egregious screw up, the guy wasn’t on the main squad of people charged with finding these guys, in fact is seems like the Sheriff was being cut out of the loop and was just trying to help.

      SOME of this is bungling, but not all. Three hours to determine that they escaped isn’t really that long, considering the chaos that probably went with the first day. The sheriff riding off to some local mountain would have been heralded as great police work should they have been there (and, realistically, probably needed to be searched anyway).

      Sounds like most of the blame should go to Cuomo and the State Police.

        The deputies “just kind of roved around hoping to get lucky,” he said.

        [Insert stale joke about the size of Matt’s penis.]

          How the fuck is inaccurate maps even a problem? Pull out your goddamn phone and use an app, or the internet.

            If it's a map of Times Square, sure. In dense, hilly woods you need a topographical map to show steep climbs, ravines, bodies of water that need to be worked around, etc.
