Cossaboon 5ft 9 and 220lb. No wonder she stayed in the car. She sure the hell wasn't climbing through any windows.

It's hard to stay classy when you have pieces of sh*t like this terrorizing our community. It's lucky for them that they didn't break into a home with an armed home owner waiting.

Give them a break! They're both former Perry Hall students. They made bad choices, hopefully learned right quick, and can redirect themselves.
Anonymous cowards shouldn't throw stones, when we don't know if you have stuff to hide, too.

Sometimes you got to laugh to keep from crying. Thanks Up and At Em.

You mean, give them a break in?

There are thousands of former Perry Hall students who don't go around breaking into people's houses.

Any description of the vehicle? I've noticed other suspicious activity in that area.

Because they are former Perry Hall students they deserve a break right. That pos who shot at Perry Hall highschool is now a former student too does he deserve a break . Get real with the world Kim.

Shes saying they did something stupid.. I am a former PHHS student and I know myself and every teenager out there does something stupid and some more than other... this was nothing more than two stupid kids doing something stupid and hopefully they learn from it. Remember the stupid crap you did as a kid.. then judge.

Cagney & Lacey at 9PM, followed by Hoffman & Cossaboon at 10PM, tonite on CBS...

Dis Sydney broad looks like some type of diesel dyke. She prolly like it in prison…know what I mean, get it, ya hear.

I agree with Stephanie 100%.. 20-22 years old are not teenagers out for a thrill ride. They are adults out to ROB innocent peoples homes for money or drugs. Hooray for neighbors watching out for their neighbors. Thumbs up!!

People want to say kids do stupid things and deserve a breaks, but at a very young age, these kids, including adults are taught right from wrong wether it's from a parent, grand parent or teacher or police. People are taught not to commit crimes dealing drugs using drugs, breaking into homes, commit thefts etc. When the person commits a crime, there are always excuses from a suspect, bad child hood, to divorce parents, you name it their lawyer will be telling the judge their client needs a break, what about the victim's in these cases?
It's all funny to a lot of people today seeing a classmate or a friend get caught committing a crime, and that's why we have rules/laws that punishes a person when they get caught. I am sure if a Perryhall teacher's home was broken into, they would want the police to find out who committed the crime and charge the suspect and would want full punishment. If a student's car was vandalized by someone you also would want to know who did the damage and would want the person charged. This is what's wrong with society today, no one and I mean no one respects others, wether it's on the road rage, to just being ignorant. The more educated people are the more ignorant they are. If everyone would call the police like the witness did when she saw Hoffman breaking into the home, more arrests would be made. This isn't Hoffman's 1st breakin I am sure he did more.
Treat others as you would want to be treated.

As a mom with 4 young kids, I have no sympathy for anyone breaking into the sanctity of a home. They are just lucky they didn't end up in the morgue instead.

Please notify the police when you see suspious people or vehicles in your neighborhood. Don't just overlook this situation. Let the police decide if they are suspious or have a reason to be in that area.

They are wrong, no doubt about it. People should feel the same way about their sports heroes they worship that do much worse.

Kim and Hal , give us your addresses so we can send all the burglars to your house since you seem to be ok with them.

Why don't you all stop harassing Kim.. You don't know her and all she was doing was offering an opinion, you don't need to attack her for her beliefs, this is what's wrong with the country. Interesting though that the first ones to name call and gang up on someone are the most uneducated and usually of the conservative demographic

...her post called people 'cowards'...some may perceive that as name-calling...

They both were old enough to go and break into the house , now they are well old enough to deal with the consequences that come with doing a CRIME.

just because their former Perry Hall students doesn't give him the right to break into peoples houses and get off for it no they need to be charged and put in jail anybody else would have gotten time so they need to serve their time to like they say you do the crime you might as well do the time

cant blame a school that they went to years ago for what they are doing now. they need to get the consequences that came with them doing what they knew was a crime.

Lets get real. I went to highschool with both of them. And I'm guessing none of them took a juvenile justice class. They are grown, they know right from wrong. They are not kids, they should not be treated as kids. They are adults who knew better and have to take responsibility for what they've done. ESP if one of them is on probation for the SAME exact thing. It's time to grow up, mommy and daddy can't get them out of this one.

I also went to PHHS with both of them, honestly not surprised at all that this happened to them...

A quick facebook search shows that Cossaboon is studying Criminology. Oh the irony...

Simple...Did they commit a crime? Yes! Should they get jail time for it? Yes! To be clear, this was a thought out action against another citizen who works for a living. You want to be part of a good society? GET A JOB, GIVE BACK TO SOCIETY IN A POSITIVE WAY AND RESPECT OTHERS AND THEIR PROPERTY.

Stop judging people for their opinions and sentencing them to suffer just because you don't agree with them. And these people are honestly very lucky they didn't break in to my friends home but from my knowledge there are always break ins in that area cus the people are older.

Honestly the stupidity of America makes me sick .I cant stand how social media has taken a toll on society and making it seem exceptable to bash and degrade people based on looks. They committed burglary not murder or rape and people are writing they need hard time in jail . Its not acceptable or right for what they did by any circumstance but the reaction to this is just outrageous unless you have the maturity level of a 14 yr old. On Top of that I keep seeing people post about guns ,that's real nice because unless you can prove they broke in , your going to jail for murder . It is not that easy to claim self defense as they make it sound on T.V . Guns should only be used as a last chance and if they were unarmed you're going to be looking at a trail your self. Lastly I wish to address people should really think before they talk because the internet is highly motored now a days and threats are not taking lightly .

2 people broke into a house... Big deal. I've had my house broken into multiple times, it sucks but that doesn't mean they should be judged so harshly. You have no idea what either one of them is going through and have no room to talk. Sure they should be punished but you people are going a bit over board. They're gonna get house arrest and probably go to jail on the weekends for a few months. They went down the wrong path and now they'll have the chance to straighten themselves out. I know jimmy he was a good kid a few years back but just went down the wrong road. If you really think they should go to jail for 15 years you should probably move to Iraq.

Just cause they are going through whatever they are going through does not give them the right to break into ones home and do or take what they please. There is no excuse.

Hoffman lives a street away from me..My car was broken into a few months ago...It was probaly him. I have ZERO tolerance for this kind of stuff. Instead of stealing other people's belongings, why don't they get a JOB and WORK for the thigs that they want. And, why, at 2:30 in the afternoon weren't they at worK??? When I was 20 and 22 I surely had a JOB. I hope they go to jail and pay for the crime. What in the hell is happening to Perry Hall???

So im on the toilet at work reading all this. these two young adults have made a terrible decision, their lives and names will be forever tarnished with the crime they have committed, and they will be punished. but the thing that astounds me is how divided and heated this argument has become.....over something none of us have tried to fix. instead of working on a way to prevent this from happening again, seeing people we once knew end up like so much societal waste, we sit and yell and accuse and insult. no progress is made, the status quo never moves. f250 dude, i assume you went to perry hall and knew the accused. whens the last time you asked if everything was alright? phhs students that feel they should be given a break, why should they? if they've commited a crime, they should be held accountable for their actions regardless of age. the point im trying to make is we live ina world where we no longer care about anyone but ourselves, and we take no responsibility for our misdeeds. We have to make the change, the progress. we can sustain ourselves but help others along the way. thats whats killed the american dream, the lack of compassikn of the american people. we are the greatest country on the earth, bar none, but it has to start with the best people.

Hey a

What!?!?! White people commit crimes?
I had no idea...there must be some mistake.
AND they didn't take the bus?????
Now I don't know what to think anymore!

All these kids causing ruckus in the perry hall

@mike hoppe no I don't think they deserve a break read my post. No I don't know them or don't want to. I was saying I can't stand people that think they deserve a break or the criminals that think they deserve a break.

for now on call him "Holier Than thou HAl " LOL!!! ha ha ha ha you're too much, Hal sure its not nice to make fun of a fat person so what?

This Hoffman doesn't need jail time he needs rehab he's obviously a drug addict drugs make ppl do horrible things

@f250. my mistake. i forgot the period. the first part was for you. the latter part was for the phhs group that feels they should be given a break.

Dude are you all seriously making fun of them ? These two I have known since I was in middle school. You all are rude as hell. Like seriously if it was you, none of you would say anything so please keep your rude ass comments to yourself

I know the Hoffman family very well, and I can easily say that Jimmy comes from a very loving, disciplined, household with good morals and values. So this did not happen because he was raised wrong, and has nothing to do with the fact that he lives in Perry Hall or went to PHHS. This happened because these two people decided to go down the wrong path, even turning down opportunities for a better path. They fully deserve every ounce of punishment served to them, especially because, at least for Jimmy, this definitely wasn't his first rodeo.

Three more criminals just got caught jacking up convenience stores all over town. Do any of you liberal do-gooders want to take up for them too? Make you can invite those guys over for dinner or even help them post their bail.

Hoffman should have been in jail a long time ago I'm glad he is out of the community

If they went to a good christian school they would know by 10 years of age whats right and wrong. Religion should not be mandatory but it should be your right to have that option to learn about it in public school. The state does not have financial assistance for those who want to learn about God and there for the public school shows there true colors by not teaching about everything in school. Im not promoting about God nor am i saying you will be bad if you don't learn about him but learning about God can only make you a better person. I don't know anyone who can say learning about God made them a bad person. That's is my point so yeah.

I went to middle school and high school with them. What they did was wrong . And I agree but before you start judging and calling them names just remember that is someone's son ,brother,sister,daughter an they have family and this news is hard on the family and reading how negative the society is horrible. Because put your self in their shoes if you were there family how would you feel and if you have nothing nice to say ten don't say anything at all because what your doing us nothing better . Your stepping down a level and making your self look stupid because you have nothing better to do other then bash on someone else. Grow up and let it be it didn't effect you then don't talk about it. And everyone has the right to say how they feel about it I get it but don't attack another person based on their response because you don't like what they said just get over it .

I'd hit it... ... ...lmfao!!!!

I went to school with the "female" (if you can call it that) and one time in math class, she sh!t her pants. f'ing nasty. Oh and shes not gay, everyone. she makes love to male cows.

I wish i could say both these dumbasses werent my friend. I struggle week to week to pay my bills and to support my habits. I dont break into houses. I go to work. 6 days a week. 40+ hours. And i hate my job. But as an adult its what i have to do. They were both raised right. The parents have nothing to do with it. They just went full on retard and deserve everything coming to them. Jimmy is a thief, liar, and brings everyone around him down with him. I expected more out of Syd. Ive lost a lot of respect for both of them today.

Here's the deal. When you commit a crime it's public record. Oh well it happens. I don't think it's right to make fun of em, but if they weren't out burglarizing houses then they wouldn't be in this situation. What's done is done. What matters is where they go from here. They made mistakes and it probably is drug related, because drugs use you and make you do stuff you yourself wouldn't do, but they turn you into a monster you don't wanna be. You do the crime, you accept full responsibilities for your actions, so you do the time. Hopefully they bounce back and better themselves from here and make amends. But the fact of the matter is, we live in a society driven by social networking and media so best believe if you do some stuff like this it's gonna spread like a wildfire. And yes that is someone's "family" but if they murdered someone would any of you trying to justify their actions for burglary be stickin up for em? Or would you crucify em. If it has to do with drugs it's not their families fault anyway. Once your trapped in a state of desperation, regardless of your upbringing, family doesn't matter anymore. Nothing does. The only thing that matters, is the means, using, and finding of drugs. Regardless of what the penalties are, I hope our justice system can prove itself to get em the help they need. If its drugs, institutions won't correct that. They need treatment and support. That's my two cents.

How r u acting like its a simple mistake and it was a "dumb decision" like they're 5 years old. Sad that's the world we live in. Let them break in ur house and still say oh just let em go...

LOL She's a Criminology Major too!

I know what Jimmy and Syd did was wrong, but it was not due to their upbringing. Please stop and think how their parents, siblings and other family members feel about reading all the rude comments that are being posted. The families are all dealing with a lot right now. I have on many occasions welcomed both of them into my home over the years and I am still in shock over this news. They both need to be punished for the crime that they committed and I am sure that they both knew what they were doing was wrong!

Gabe. I dont need a book to tell me what i do is right and wrong. We all have morals and i was blessed with a little thing you seem to lack.. Common sense.

What they did was wrong! But you know what everyone makes mistake in their lifetime and if you think your so perfect and never did anything wrong then your lying to yourself. Some people do it when there kids,some do it when there teens and some do it when there early adults , and some do it when there grown adults .And some people don't get caught ! So therefore before you start saying they need to get what's coming to them they will but just let it be you saying all this negative things doesn't make you guys any better . Because you never know what life can bring and there parents have nothing to do with them that's wrong that's their family that your bashing and it makes them feel even worse bc they are in pain as well . So why don't you be an example and show that even if they did something wrong don't be that person that is going to bash because you never know what can happen . Because next thing you know it can be your family member that does it. And then you have they society bashing you as well.

She worked out Outback? Im assuming employees get unlimited free food.

You will soon find out that these 2 were involved in multiple burglaries and thefts from vehicles.

Its a sin reading these posts where people have to debate over if this was a crime or not, or if these 2 meant to do this or not...They did. The neighbor stood in her window and watched Jimmy break the glass into her neighbors house....no mistake there. I have no tolerance for people who break into peoples homes or cars and steal their "things"...."things" they have worked hard to buy for themselves and their kids. I know one of the families and believe me - he was not raised to STEAL others belongings. I am shocked and sick to see what he has done and I'm sure this isnt their first house (or car) they broke into. GET A JOB is right...I bust my ass working as does my husband so we can afford our house, our car...to buy nice things for our kids. Its not their parents fault or their school or their church...they chose this path whatever it may be - drugs? alcohol?.....its a sad thing but its still WRONG!!! and they should be taken off the streets of Perry Hall. We need to bring PH back to what it was - these people breaking in to our homes or our neighbors homes, cars, sheds, etc - we need to STOP them. Drugs are everywhere in Perry Hall, Harford County, inner city..and people are stealing from homes, cars to pay for these drugs. Start being a responsible adult and report anything unusual in your neighborhood. Perry Hall is a nice area to live but these hoodlums are trying to take it from us.

It was 2:08 in the afternoon and Sydney had not eaten lunch yet. Her friend was nice enough to break into that house to raid the fridge to save her life. Stop judging, people. A crisis was averted.

PETTY!

What people don't know is Cossaboon had her car in a parking lot nearby loaded with stolen goods from other burglaries. The police recovered it with the stolen goods and had it towed. Hopefully all the stolen goods recovered will be returned to the rightful owners. So people who are saying this is a "One Time" mistake are wrong.

These are 2 criminals who didn't make just one mistake but were involved in multiple burglaries. They just happened to get caught because of a nosey neighbor.

If this was just a one time isolated incendent or mistake like some people want to call it than these 2 would have been released on their own recognizance from the BCDC. As it stands right now both of these two are committed to the Baltimore County Detention Center.

Interested221, Police radio traffic being monitored from a digital scanner. Cossaboon's car was recovered from the bowling alley parking lot on Ebenezer Road loaded with boxes of stolen goods. It was towed to police headquarters for processing.

For those of you saying what they did was a mistake then you are basically telling them it is okay to break into someones house and to go make this "mistake" again.

Sydney lives in parkville, hasn't lived in kingsville in years. Don't punish the families for their stupid mistake. You breaking into their families houses make you as low as you can be. Just like them.

& any information about this case is a rumor. There is no way that this "up and at em" person has ANY idea what is going on. All information hasnt even come out to the public. Let it go. really. Why don't you all find something else to do with your lives? Let the families hurt in peace they don't need this

makepeacenotwar, you are saddly mistaken. I am not making this up. My information is accurate. You will see when all the details are released to the public. Right now there is a serious investigation underway. I will accept your apology when all the details are released.

No, I will never apologize to you. What you should do is apologize to the families of James and Sydney for the hurtful things you have been saying. Is your life that pathetic? Why don't you do something else with your life? Really. No need for the hate you have been doing. I don't care about saying stuff about those two for the sake of those two but their families. They are hurting. Let the patch give updates if they are true.

Why are you taking up with those 2 pieces of sh*t? Are you one of their drug using buddies? There families should be apologizing to society for breeding 2 worthless pieces of sh*t like that.

As the original and current co-owner of the residence of reference on Patrick Way, it is my intention to set the record straight as to the recent residency history of Sydney Cossaboon. It is true that Sydney once resided on Patrick Way in Kingsville from September 2006 until she decided to vacate the premises in the fall of 2010. For nearly the remainder of 2010, Sydney lived with two separate families of friends within the Perry Hall area. In late December of 2010, Sydney moved to Richmond VA, and resided there until July of 2012. Finally, from July 2012 until her arrest last week, she has been living in Parkville, MD.

With Sydney’s move to Richmond, and then to Parkville, Sydney initiated changes of address with the USPS to match her residency to receive her mail; however, she did not make similar changes to her driver’s license via the DMV since vacating Patrick Way back in 2010. This is the only geographical/residential reason as to why Sydney Cossaboon is still associated with Patrick Way, or even Kingsville, almost 2.5 years later.

Scott, that is very unfortunate for you that she had your address listed as her primary residence. Thanks for clarifying that for the people of Perry Hall. Do yourself a favor. If you should have any contact with her please tell her to change her primary address to 720 Bosley Avenue, Towson Maryland , 21204. That is the Baltimore County Detention Center where she is going to be living. They will make sure that she receives any mail addressed to her.

Patch, you can’t be considered a reliable and unbiased online news source with your continued censorship of your readers. One commenter jokingly wrote that someone should break into Ms. Cassaboon’s residence and steal her stuff, and you took down that post. I then commented that there would be no sense in that, because she most likely is mooching of someone’s goodness anyway and any intended harm toward her would be misdirected. The ownership of her stated residence was cleared up by a comment posted by the real owner. They even gave a detailed chronology of her past two years. If you want to be responsible, don’t list the suspect’s address in the first place. Rather you resorted to removing comments you feel are inciting. If you’re going to get all touchy feely then stop the Rogue’s Gallery. Can’t have it both ways.

It is a big deal...I had my house broken into this past year while I was at the hospital with my 5 yr old who has had 3 open heart surgeries....DO you think they cared about what I was going through???? This pity for the criminal is ridiculous....without consequences for bad behavior there is no reason to change it. The next time maybe they will armed and somebody you know will get hurt or killed and then you can visit them in prison and express your concern for their mistakes

Hey Mike The House Burglar, why don't you go visit your buddy Hoffman in the County Detention Center and ask him how he likes showering with men.

Mam, what are you talking about.

Welcome to the real world

Glad they were caught - keep these two low life's off the streets of Perry Hall and surrounding area. Now I'm wondering if the car I saw outside my house the one day was their car. It sped off as I headed to the door to see the car. Hope they rot in jail!

Glad that they were caught. Only through the vigilance of a neighbor that they were caught. If a senior citizen was in that house and he was armed it could have cost the young people their life. Very few people would want to charge him. When you enter a persons house you put everyone's life at risk, Just not so simple as missing items missing.Just shows how important it is to report suspicious activities.

a shame that they didnt enter my home-- i think for entertainment i would have let them come in and meet my friend I affectionately call "AK"...

this is why people are angry about govt, scum like this get away with ankle bracelets..they need to do serious time

I went to school with Jimmy never really talked to him but based on the few times I did I can't say I would have expected to see this about him he should get the punishment he deserves and hopefully he will realize his mistakes and turn his life around
