Why is stealing a bike only a $406 citation? WTF?

Particularly since the type of bikes the thieves target are of higher
value than your typical beater.

You want to "ruin" a young person's life because they stole a toy?

Yes. Very much so. I may be a "liberal" but I when it comes
to bicycle thieves I will say "hang'em high!". Unless of course
they stole a bike to feed a hungry, crying infant. Which simply
does not happen.

Heaven forfend. I'm old school. If I caught the absconding tyke, I'd
ruin their kneecap.

YOU are definitely part of the problem NOT part of the solution.

Great story.

I wonder if they could put out more expensive bikes in hopes of
burning the thieves for felony theft instead of a misdemeanor or
whatever it is that they're fining them $406.50 for.

Can anybody point to a specific device that they might be using?

Nah, I'd settle for the amputation of one joint of one finger on
the non-dominant hand. Without anesthesia - just to make sure
the point gets made.

I took it as tongue-in-cheek. Maybe I was wrong.
