Thomas is 18 years old and was found guilty of multiple counts of burglary and dealing in stolen property. He and three of his friends went on a spree of home burglaries where they took thousands of dollars' worth of property from their victims' homes. All of Thomas's acquaintances were juveniles and thus not of age to pawn items at the pawn shop. This is why Thomas was the one who got caught pawning the stolen items in a local pawn shop. During the sentencing phase of Thomas's trial, the victims say in open court that they do not want to see a young man sent to prison for many years. They would like to see him placed on probation but also compensate them for their losses, which they believe will teach Thomas some financial responsibility. What are the victims asking for?
