Willing to murder someone over a phone that might get them $50 from a local fence. And instead of locking them up and throwing away the key first time they're caught in the act, we keep playing catch and release until they do murder someone.

Maybe pack rocks. Although if they have paper you're out of luck.

I'm working on a prototype that is filled with napalm that can be ignited remotely after a theft. You're welcome Apple!

Unfortunately this will keep happening as long as they can operate with complete impunity, they won't think twice until one of them is found with a hole in his head. Jail isn't much of a deterrent, more of a rite of passage - if they end up going there in the first place, that is, which is usually not the case in the land of judge dougans and $100 bails.
