Act 3, Strike 3
Houaka Yang and a 13-year-old accomplice were caught on surveillance video allegedly breaking into several cars outside the La Crosse, Wisc., home of state Senate candidate Bill Feehan. Yang and his accomplice admitted to the thefts and returned everything that was taken. Later, when Feehan’s spokesman Chris Rochester used a recovered video camera, he found a series of videos Yang had made. “This is my house, yes, and a stolen camera that I stole,” he says on one. “But it’s OK, the cops won’t figure it out. Oh yeah, to introduce you, my name is Houaka Yang, so yeah. How do you do?” Rochester posted one of the videos on YouTube, titled “Stupid criminal: Dude who stole my handycam records himself saying ‘hi.’” Yang and his accomplice now face theft charges.
