Ryan Jay Pabor
MINDEN - The last of four defendants in a Johnson Lane burglary spree was sentenced Tuesday to six years in Nevada State Prison and ordered to pay his share of $17,600 restitution.
Ryan Pabor, 27, of Carson City, must serve a minimum of 16 months before he is eligible for parole.
"I get a picture in my mind of this crew running around the valley, high, laughing, stealing, and breaking into people's houses, then getting caught and saying, 'Whoa! Look at what we did!'" said District Judge Dave Gamble.

He told Pabor he needed to learn the difference be tween "pretending to be Bonnie and Clyde and the reality of that chain around your belly."
Pabor and three others were char ged in the burglaries of eight homes and four vehicles in the Johnson Lane area.
All received prison sentences. Lawyers for the defendants said their actions were motivated by the quest for money to buy drugs.
"Ryan has lived the life of somebody constantly desperate to get more methamphetamine," said his lawyer, Tod Young. "He appreciates he needs to change. Most of this was behind the pursuit of controlled substances."

Pabor apologized for the burglaries.
"I know what I did was really, really stupid," he said. "I'm definitely done with the life I've been living."
Gamble gave Pabor credit for 65 days in custody.

"I hope you've learned something," he said. "If you haven't, you're just going to be in prison for most of your life or you're going to die."
Pabor and his co-defendants were involved in the burglaries in December and January. Several other attempts were thwarted by alert neighbors.
Investigators were led to the suspects in January by a 57-year-old Johnson Lane woman who had been checking vehicles in shopping center parking lots for her stolen handicap parking sign. The victim spotted the permit in a defendant's vehicle at Target and investigators followed the car to a trailer at Silver City RV Park which was full of stolen property.
Investigators estimated the value of the stolen property and damage at $100,000.
