  • In Today's video we talk about the farm stand and the thief that has been coming since January (It's July 22 when this was posted) and we still have not caught him. We have the plate and identified him. The arrest warrant will be issued soon if it has not already be done. And at some point, he will be arrested. When that happens, we will definitely update you.
    Thanks for watching our videos! If you want to visit our farm and stay in the b&b, go to www.millgapfarms.com. We also have Virginia’s only USDA Organic Maple Syrup available for you to enjoy too!
    Our videos are for entertainment purposes only. Do not try any stunts like these unless you have your own channel and plenty of insurance. No animals were harmed in the making of these videos, except for maybe Kevin. #maplesyrup #makingmaplesyrup #farming #maplefarm

    Update Video here... ruclips.net/video/XF--ZQJUzoU/видео.html
    (Edit BELOW)Oh my stars!!! We are overwhelmed with the kindness from each of you! We normally get about 100 views on our videos. Not too long after the video when live, we started getting orders through our website (www.millgapfarms.com). It's strange because this time of year we might see a couple orders each month. I wasn't sure what was happening. A couple of you guys emailed us too. One person offered another blue mason jar! How kind is that! I am still in shock as to the number of views this video has gotten not to mention the number of comments. Emily is out of town with the kids this weekend at a baby shower in Manahawkin, NJ. I'm tending to the farm and thankfully we have guests coming and going in our b&b! We also have an event this weekend in town. I WILL RESPOND TO EVERYONE'S COMMENTS. it will take me a few days. Thank you so much for watching our video and leaving your thoughts! As we get more information on this, I'll post it to the channel.
    (First Edit - with the thought they will be more) It's been about a week since this video went live. I thought i would be able to respond to everyone's comments but i must say, I'm overwhelmed with the support of the channel and our farm. A lot of orders for maple syrup have come in and we are filling them as fast as we can. I don't know when I will be able to answer everyone but in time I will do my best. Thank you for you kindness and support. I will have a video out today or tomorrow talking more about the situation.
    God Bless You! Kevin

      No need to reply to me sir but you have me best wishes. Amazing how things like social media and cameras can be used for good or bad but in this case, you may have changed this thief's perspectives by forcing him to face the consequences of his actions as he sees them in the mirror of social media and saved yourself a lot of headaches from the constant loss. This could literally make him a better man and it looks like he needs the help. I'm up in Md but I'm going to pin the farm for my next road trip for some syrup!

      Been my experience it usually starts with stealing from family and when it's overlooked/excuses accepted, it progresses from there. Sneaking a 15¢ roll of butterscotch lifesavers into my pocket when I was 5yrs old taught me to never steal. Mom making me take them back and apologize in tears was nothing compared to when dad got home.

    We had a similar thing happen when I lived in Ohio. A senior neighbor on the main country road had an “Honor” stand with sweet corn, tomatoes, etc. Everything was great for a long time until it wasn’t. Those were the days when Facebook and security cameras were still a very new thing.
    The stand’s owner posted a big sign about the honor box being taken. It was a small town so the news spread fast and was even a sermon topic at our local small town church. Folks were very upset because they counted on this honor stand for their veggies for supper every night.
    It wasn’t long before the culprit was discovered. The culprit was the idiot son whose parents lived in the area. The parents made the idiot child return the cash box, apologize to the stand’s owner, and stand by the roadside with a sign stating the he was the thief. Nothing like a good public shaming to get their mind right.

      Isaiah 47: 10 ¶ For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else besides me.
      11 Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know.

    When I was young milk delivery was still a thing. One could leave an empty milk bottle on your porch or in the milk box beside your door with money in it to pay for your next bottle of milk or pay your weekly tab. Not one person in the village would dare to steal it. If you checked you would also find that many people never locked or removed the keys from the ignition of their cars. Very few people locked the doors to their home, even when they went on vacation. My parents did not have a locking door on our house until 1979.What has our society come to these days????

    You should also hire an attorney and file a civil suit, as the police will likely only drop this case so he will plead on other unrelated charges.

    I'm glad to see your hard work and patience have finally paid off. Restitution would be nice, but in the end, if he just stops stealing, that in itself would be nice.

    Standing in agreement, praying for these individuals! imo, the driver of the vehicle is just as culpable in the commission of the crime! Will also pray that this puts an end to these kinds of shenanigans at your farm stand!!! ❤️🙏❤️

    I was originally just going to leave a comment about how nice of a person you seem to be and how calmly patient you have been trying to catch this guy. But the end of your video, where you said you were praying for this man was really the best. God bless you and prosper you, and keep you in good health even as your soul prospers.

    if you haven't already, trespass him and get a quick/emergency restraining order against him. it will help if any future visits do happen.

    One time, a lapse in good judgment. Any more than that is a plan. And..there's two of them involved! Nice car, and they look well fed.
    To file charges against them would actually help them to become A Better Person.

    You absolutely need to press charges and prosecute these individuals. The next person they steal from may not be lucky they may actually catch these individuals and could be harmed!!!! Absolutely prosecute for the safety of others!!!

    I’m thankful you caught him, but also have a servants heart for this fellow. God sees the heart and we need to pray for the hearts of thieves to be transformed by the Holy Spirit. Don’t see too many stands like yours anymore. My father n law sold apples out of his orchard in Michigan in the same way for years and never had a problem. He believed in the honor system. May God bless you. ♥️👏✝️☝️🙏🇺🇸

    Poor guy, he needs some time to contemplate and self-reflect.
    And, yes, pray.
    I hope he gets a place to do that.

    i don't see how there can be down votes on this.
    what is disputable about this? this man is a small business owner. he takes pride in this product, and makes it possible for people to enjoy it at the convience of everyone.
    selfish behavior ruins it for everyone, fresh maple just tastes better.

      Where do you see down votes? I only see the thumbs up. If there are down votes they likely come from people who dislike the Bible quotes and the ask for prayer.

    I'm glad you caught this sick person. How very pathetic that he would do this over and over again. He needs prayers to deliver him. He's obviously messed up with demons. He also needs to pay his debts. God bless.

    The man also had an accomplice. I pray that justice will be served for both offenders. I know a lot of people don't necessarily want to see someone go to jail, but there is a point when you have to remember that this person is not a child. They knew what they were doing and they didn't care about who they were hurting. I pray they will ask for forgiveness from a contrite heart. Forgiveness doesn't mean they shouldn't be disciplined though. I pray that your farm stand will be successful regardless of his crimes.

    Ohh my goodness. . Why would someone go this low? Who taught him that this was alright to do?. . Surely I will pray 🙏 for an amicable resolution for both you and him. He is definitely misguided in his heart and soul.
