In my opinion, transportation theft needs to be punished more severely than other theft of the same value.
Let's put it on the order of years, not just for Bird's sake. bicycles are a unique combination of valuable, vulnerable, and hard to catch the theft of.
When society does catch someone doing this, we should be putting them away on the order of years. Just my opinion though.
- dralley 8y agoYears? Are you serious? A $500 theft should not put anyone in prison for "years". That's nuts.
- Scoundreller 8y agoSure. If it’s your primary mode of transportation and one of your biggest assets, it’s a hard hit to take. Setting arbitrary minimums for investigating thefts just means only rich people’s losses are deemed important. This is basically a discussiom about negative externalities, and the negative externalities are harsher when you steal 10% for a thousandaire vs. 10% from a millionaire.
