Short on theft:

Bike stolen - middle of the night, no witness

Kid caught riding bike - claims found in the woods

Prosecutor - did you witness theft, answer no

Charge dismissed

You know an old fashioned belt spanking would have gotten out the truth of that "boy". But now days that is considered abuse .

Once I had every single piece of hunting clothing I own stolen as well as a most of my hunting gear(knives lights etc.) thank goodness I had my archery equipment and guns with me.

Thieves are the worst kind of people that walk the earth.. Its just wrong when you work your tail off to have something for some low life to take .

FATHER FORGIVE THEM THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO

I don't think that applies to thieves... I'm pretty sure they know whats theirs or not. If you didn't buy it it's not yours  :-/simple and plain

The area where I live has about the lowest crime rate in the world.  But still there are things being stolen every once in a while.

As it is now, the punishment is not strong enough to deter thieves.  Corporal punishment should be part of the sentence.  Maybe amputation of a member along with a jail term for the amputation to heal would be a good idea.

My senior year of college (2002) my fraternity house was broken into.  The thieves had their pick of an XBox, PS2, several new computers, speakers galore, but instead they took a few rolls of quarters and my buddy's laptop.  The laptop was a 1994 model 486 and was not worth $20 but it contained a book he had been writing for 4 years that was over 300 pages long.  When he saw it was gone he fell to the floor and sobbed for an hour.  That was one of the worst things I have ever witnessed since the guy was normally Hi-fricken-larious and we were all dying to read the book but he said too much of it was written spur-of-the-moment and he could never re-create it.

I'm very surprised that your buddy did not save guard his book. All he had to do was insert a diskette into the computer and every 5 or 10 minutes, all that he had written would have been safe guarded automaticallly. Lots of things could have happened to his computer and he would have lost everything. He had 4 years to figure that out.

Lots of crimes are preventable.  I had my house broken into in 1996.  We were away on vacation.  All my guns and rifles, 2 tv, 2 videos, computer, ghetto blaster.  We got a call from a friend saying we had been robbed.  We didn't interrupt our vacation...lol.  In a way, I was kind of glad the stuff had been stolen....I ended up getting brand new stuff that was much better.

Now I guess you are wondering why I said it was preventable.  About 1 week before leaving for vacation, my wife and I were at a big party.  There were about 200 people there.  Almost everyone knew us.  Somebody asked when we were leaving for vacation and for how long.  My wife yelled out the day we were leaving and when we were coming back.  I didn't want to reprimand my wife too much but I did hint at the fact that what she had done was not a good idea.  When you tell 200 people....it's sure that in the next few days at least 1000 people know about it.  We live in a community that has a lot of family ties and friends.  News go through this community real fast.

I don't own anything really precious.  Maybe my vintage guitars and amps, a stamp collection that I started over 50 years ago, family photos and my fishing gear would be hard to replace, but that's about it.

I despise thieves. I have had many things stolen over the years and I pity the idiot that I catch stealing from me as he will receive the vengeance that I have held in reserve for all the others that have taken from me. The police haven't ever done anything...Anything to ever get back property or even catch the Knuckleheads that stole from me. Catching a thief does not benefit the police or the justice system. It costs them money from their budgets to house and hold these scumbags. I do not abide by religious teachings that say "turn the other cheek" or "forgive them"....Screw 'em. I have lost thousands of dollars worth of tools and equipment to thieves over many years. A thief is as bad as a rapist in my book and any vengeance they receive is well deserved.

Sorry for the rant but that is how I feel.

It's all man's fallen nature. We all have it, and we can't change it. Thank God for Christ, cause he's the only one who ever did live a perfect life, died the death we deserved, and physically rose from the dead. His elect have His righteousness imputed to them
