For me the first step is easy: - Stealing a bike is a capital crime - Capital crimes are .. punished as such (Naa.. I'm not seriously suggesting to hang bike thieves, although I have commented about that in the past and certainly wished that this would happen to the persons who stole all my bikes so far. Maybe "Twice as much as for copyright infringements" would be okay? German cinemas try hard to educate the paying customers that you might get up to 5 years in prison for these offenses. So .. what about 'up to 10 years for stealing a bike'?)
