Epic fail

The point was - If there are more strict laws with harsher punishment these do no act as deterrents

i.e if some one WANTS to nick your bike they will - they will not stop and think, oh I wont do that because it's against the law.

You what?
So there are more bikes stolen than banks robbed everyday because what, people don't want to walk out of a bank with £100k of someone elses money, no they would rather steal a bike.
