| August 20, 2008 Conn. jury convicts 'Dinnertime Bandit'

STAMFORD, Conn. (AP) - A Connecticut Superior Court jury has
convicted "Dinnertime Bandit" Alan Golder for home burglaries in
Greenwich.
The six jurors in Stamford reached their verdicts Wednesday on
the first day of deliberations. They convicted Golder of
kidnapping, two counts of burglary and one count of larceny, but
acquitted him of two counts each of burglary and larceny.
Golder showed little reaction after the verdicts were announced.
His bond was kept at $3 million, and sentencing is set for Oct. 24.
The 53-year-old Golder was dubbed the "Dinnertime Bandit"
because he broke into homes in the mid-1990s and stole valuable
items from upper floors, often while residents were eating dinner.
