This is why we can't have nice things.

I don't know how I'm supposed to have any sympathy for thieves when myself and my family have been victims of multiple thefts totalling tens of thousands of pounds over the past years. I comforted my mum while she bawled her eyes out for hours when her car was stolen off of our driveway at the crack of dawn. Fuck thieves.

One a thief always a thief, there's a reason it was punished so severely throughout history.

Theft has the highest recidivism rate too[1]. You can never trust someone who has stolen again, thieves are the scum of the earth and only hurt good people.

Hmmm maybe there is a good reason they chop off thieves' hands in Islam...

Jesus guys

Exactly. Being a thief is a personality. We need to lock them up forever. How dare someone take something that isn’t theirs.
