Since time immemorial, thieves have been punished for stealing. As far back as when Jesus was crucified there were two thieves on the cross with him. The question I always ask is why do people still steal when they know if they get caught there will be consequences?

The truth is that every thief is convinced that they can never be caught. They are sure that all other thieves were dumb and that’s why they were caught. That’s why there will never be a shortage of thieves.
