I agree the penalties for theft lack the teeth they need to slow it down. It is definitely the reason we are seeing increases. Funny the jails seem to overcrowed with drug offenders with manditory stiff sentencing while theft gets treated like a victimless crime. Pretty backwards if you ask me.
Exactly right. Throw into the mix the civil forfeiture laws, and it's no wonder law enforcement doesn't make property crimes a priority.
