How in the world did he only serve 16 months in jail for stealing that many bikes?

  Would you prefer they count each bike as a separate crime so that once somebody has stolen a certain quantity they'll be locked up for life? 16 months combined with some sort of monitoring afterwards (and, in an ideal world, support in jail and afterwards to find it easy to move into legal work) should be enough to make the crime not worth doing and to hopefully stop that person doing it again. Would doubling that prison time help anything?

    Agreed. The real goal is "don't do this again" not "sit in a room forever"

      He can't do it again if he's executed.

    He certainly didn't steal 3000 bikes at one time. If a person steals 3000 TVs each from a different store, should he only serve time for one?
