Apparently, you have to be a government representative in order to get away with stealing property in Ukraine!

Ha Ha. Batkivshyna, Regions, and even the Communists are all laughing at this guy. He went to all that trouble just to steal a paltry 300,000 dollars? You're nobody in Ukraine if you haven't stolen at least 10 million. And if Tymoshenko had stopped stealing at a mere 100 million, she would have considered herself a loser.
