TRAFFORD (KDKA) — A Pitcairn woman and her boyfriend are facing charges after she posted a photo of a stolen ring on Facebook.
Crystal Yamnitzky, 20, and 21-year-old Robert Driscoll were at a home in Trafford earlier this week when Driscoll stole a 3-carat ring as well a few others from an upstairs bedroom.
A short time later, Yamnitzky posted a photo of the $12,000 ring on Facebook with the caption, “Look what Robby gave me. I love him so much.”
Police questioned Yamnitzky after being made aware of the photo, but by that point Driscoll had already pawned the ring at a shop in Monroeville. The transaction was caught on tape. Both Yamnitzky and Driscoll were arrested.
They are being held in the Westmoreland County jail on $10,000 and $25,000 bond respectively.
Driscoll’s grandmother told KDKA that he has had a long battle with addiction to heroin. She believeS he relapsed and stole the ring because of constant pressure from Yamnitzky.
Yamnitzky and Driscoll have a six-month old daughter named Tesa who Driscoll’s family is taking care of and working to get custody.

The depth of criminal stupidity never ceases to amaze me. Steal a ring. Then flaunt said ring on the most popular social network site in the world.

That girl must have some serious ‘skills’ because she sure doesn’t have ANY brains! Posting on FaceBook, what an idiot, she deserves whatever she gets x 2. Same goes for her inbred boyfriend. Look at their eyes, nothing happening in there, just a vacancy sign!

Who’s the bigger thief here; the dim bulb who stole the ring, or the Monroeville jeweler who paid $250 for a $12,000 ring?
March 11, 2011 at 2:15 pm
Oh, and I also like turtles.
March 11, 2011 at 2:16 pm
If they stay in jail long enough, perhaps we’ll be spared the disaster of these morons reproducing!!!
March 11, 2011 at 2:36 pm
Oh I’m sure they already have kids. People like this always do.

The Yamnitwit family must be so proud of its sleazy daughter
March 11, 2011 at 2:41 pm
Usually when people like this are so far gone in their addictions, even the computer gets pawned. What a couple of morons.

You have to feel for the daughter Tesa, to be brought into this world by two losers. Hopefully the family is stable and gets full custody. Loser kids having kids, nice world we live in.

My goodness, this girl is really not that smart. She stole a ring, and posted the picture on Facebook. How stupid you have to be to do that.
