LAS VEGAS — A 6-year-old boy kidnapped from his home early Wednesday was found late Saturday walking along a street in “extremely good condition” a few miles from his house, Las Vegas Police Captain Vincent Cannito said early Sunday.

Officers received calls from people who saw Cole Puffinburger wandering a sidewalk four days after three men trying to collect drug money from the boy’s grandfather burst into the home claiming to be police officers.

If you'd have asked me I would have said there was less then a 50% chance of finding this kid alive. I only gave it 50% because the kidnappers were looking to get back some cash. If they killed the boy they lost that chance.

I find it odd he was found walking down the street. I assume this kidnappers found themselves under to much heat and just let him go. Seems there's some Mexican drug gangs involved in this. What do you think is the solution to deal with these gangs?

Honestly, the only way to stop crime caused by the drug black market is to legalize & control the drugs. It won't get rid of all of the drug crime but it would definitely prevent a lot of the drug/gang related crimes.

(Disclaimer: I do not and have not used any drugs)
