- SoftTalker 3y agoPeople used to use horses for transportation. You can't lock a horse, but there were substantial penalties for stealing a horse. It maybe was a capital crime at some point?
- jack_riminton 3y agoYou're right, the technology of horse locks wasn't available so people went to other lengths: branding, guards, registering of horses. In societies where there was the death penalty for such things there was still horse theft.

- matsemann 3y agoNo, that's not what I said. Don't straw man me. We already do stuff to prevent crimes. The cars have locks, alarms, cryptographic key fobs, tracking, cameras etc. etc. None of that works. Adding a new layer of security is surely not going to help. That's my point. The resources are better put elsewhere.
