> But yeah, they'd have little reason to start one, other than trying to scare porch pirates into giving up. I hate laws intended to try to scare other people into compliance. They seem to almost universally fail, and in the process destroy people's lives. What kind of a penalty are we going to leverage to scare porch pirates? What's the highest penalty you feel is reasonable for a single instance of theft? I think the reality is going to be a revolving door in and out of jail for short sentences. Of course, better yet would be to reduce the incentive people have to steal these.
