Re: Had my hubcaps stolen today
 

I'm sure that Jeff meant this to be "tongue-in-cheek" but his point is very
valid. A large part of the reason that this type of theft occurs (as well as
all other types of crime) is because of the light "slap on the wrist"
punishment these thieves get when they get caught.

I'm sure NOBODY here is advocating killing for the theft of hubcaps, but I
do believe we need MUCH STIFFER penalties/punishments for vandalism, theft,
etc.

Ummm, but what would you reward a spinner's thief with? Surely stealing
spinners can't be considered anything but a service to humanity.
