It's the brazen nature of it all. Implicitly, what is being said is: "Go ahead, try and stop me from taking what I want. The repercussions you risk facing are far greater than the risks I'm facing right now."
This article comes off very cavalier. "Some times you need to break a few eggs to make an omelette."

- pessimizer 5y agoIt reads more like "There's so little theft that it would cost far more to prevent than is lost, but some people are spending an ton of time and effort to give everyone the impression that isn't true." So many people in this thread proudly explaining how they trust their guts over the statistics. That's how you end up in a police state.

I do think it's bad, it makes people dislike their community and has a negative effect on social frabric. We should think seriously about how to prevent it, which I'm sure we can do without veering into a police state.
