My kids don't steal. They know how I feel about stealing and they wouldn't do it. Why do you condone stealing so much? Do you agree that stealing happens far more often them murder? Why do you think that is? Because the punishment is less or do you think that they have higher moral standards? I guarantee you that people steal because the punishment is a hand slap. Now if you tell them that if you get caught stealing, you loose a hand, then you will have much less theft. You need a punishment that will deter people from being asshats. Loss of life or limb is a pretty good reason not to steal.
