A teenage criminal who received about $1 million in compensation after falling through the roof of a warehouse he was trying to rob says "I'm going to buy a big house so I have a place to live with me mum when she gets out of jail. I might buy a few houses - I'll buy whatever I want."
He is now partially blinded in his left eye and has 17 metal plates in his skull as a result of the fall. "And everyone who called me 'Tin Head' can go get stuffed."
This Tin Head gets a million clams, and crime victims get little, if anything. Hey, where's Tony Soprano when you really need him?
