SAN FERNANDO, Calif. (AP)

Former New York Mets outfielder Lenny Dykstra was sentenced Monday to three years in state prison in a grand theft auto case.

GOIN' FOR BROKE

Sports stars make loads of cash but they don't always hang on to it. Check out athletes who went bankrupt.

Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Cynthia Ulfig sentenced Dykstra after refusing to allow him to withdraw a no-contest plea.

The judge said the theft scheme showed sophistication and extensive planning.

Dykstra was immediately remanded to custody and he walked into the court's back room, hands in his pockets.

Dykstra, 49, initially pleaded not guilty to 25 counts after police arrested him and found cocaine, Ecstasy and synthetic human growth hormone at his Los Angeles home last April.

He did a lot more than just steal a car. If you have time, Goggle him and read all the stuff he's done and been through in the last 10 years or so.

This guy is no angel but reading between the lines, I'd say he pissed off the wrong government agent.

They have been relentless in getting Dykstra behind bars.

This is part of the problem....

Oh he just shot someone

Oh he just sold some crack

Oh he just broke into someone's home

The man stole a car. Something that someone has worked hard to buy and pay for. He deserves what he got.

You need to read up on him. He didn't steal someone's car. He phonied up the application for some cars he leased. When he drove off with one, that was called "stealing" because he obtained the cars under false pretenses.

But he's still a real bad guy.

It doesn't matter how he got the car, my point was that he did a crime and should pay for it. 3 years seems fair to me. If people actually had to do time for their crimes, there would be less. I live in Canada and our laws are a joke - hence, more crime.

This should be mandatory reading for anyone about to sign a major league contract (and they should be tested on the content - to make sure they've absorbed it!).
