Stealing has been a crime for years, and the police haven't been able to stamp it out. Is that a reason for not reporting it? If victims weren't reporting stealing to the police, that wouldn't be helping in any way. What good does writing a blog post that as far as we can tell doesn't contain any checkable evidence do? (and I'm not advocating publicly shaming the guy -- again, the legal system is the established road for crimes, and this is no exception).
