Md. man charged with stealing frontloader, clearing driveways
A Columbia man is charged with felony theft and related crimes after he allegedly stole a frontloader and used it to clear driveways, according to Howard County police.
The Caterpillar loader was equipped with a LoJack device that police said they used to locate the equipment in the driveway of a home in the Anne Arundel portion of Laurel.
The frontloader was reported missing Monday and was believed to have been taken between Friday and Monday from a parking garage in Jessup, Howard police spokeswoman Sherry Llewellyn said,
David Earl Bryant, 40, of the 9600 block of Hingston Downs, Columbia, was charged in the incident.

It's called a frontend loader, not frontloader.

Good deed? Somehow I doubt the thief was clearing driveways for free. More likely using the stolen equipment to make money.
How about someone steal your car and turn it into a cab? Would it be a "good deed" because the thief was giving rides to people without cars?

That man probably charged people for clearing their driveways, with a piece of equipment that he stole.

No jury in Laurel will convict this man.
