Years? 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.
