He got fined about £300, which hopefully taught him a lesson.

  lol you mean he stole a further £300. Fines are not there to teach a lesson. Poor people can't pay so steal, rich people can afford to pay so do. Who does this arrangement benefit if not the victim?

    He was a soldier in the Army, so very likely he got reprimanded rather strongly by his CO. I am not sure where "poor" and "rich" people come into this?

      fixed fine, variable means to pay, interests me.
