From the article: ROOSEVELT — A man responsible for teaching religious education classes to LDS high school students is facing criminal charges after investigators say he burglarized a home on a Sunday afternoon to steal prescription painkillers. Brian Dean Thacker was charged Wednesday in 8th District Court with burglary, a second-degree felony, theft, a class B misdemeanor, and possession of a controlled substance, a class B misdemeanor. On May 26, Thacker entered a home about 2 p.m. and took Lortab from a medicine cabinet, according to Duchesne County sheriff's detective Dela Rowley. A woman was upstairs in the home at the time and heard Thacker moving around downstairs, Rowley said. She waited until Thacker left and then looked out the window and recognized him, the detective said. Thacker, 42, was interviewed after the incident was reported to the sheriff's office. He corroborated the woman's account of what happened and admitted to taking Lortab from the home, Rowley said. Thacker served as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints seminary teacher for Union High School during the 2012-13 academic year. Prior to that, he was the seminary teacher for LDS students at Altamont High School.

What does it matter if the perp is LDS, Baptist, Catholic or Orthodox Jew? The story is about a burglary.

How many thefts have been prevented by Mormons?

I remember something Fr. Dwight Longnecker once said about GK Chesterton:

“He said he knew the Catholic Church was for him because when he left his umbrella at the back of the Methodist Church it was still there, but when he left it at the back of the Catholic Church it was stolen.”

I’m not a Mormon. I don’t believe that the LDS organization is the true church of Jesus Christ. As a devout Catholic, I believe it is the Catholic Church that Jesus founded. I don’t believe much of Mormon theology, sociology, or cosmology. In fact, as a devout Catholic, I don’t even believe the LDS organization can be identified theologically as Christian.

Nonetheless, it seems that the LDS organization has one thing in common with the Catholic Church - in it, you will find both “saints and sinners.”
