Seems to me I heard stories as a kid about how safe from crime certain Middle East countries were because of the swift and certain punishment. Like a thief losing a hand the first time he stole.

So, as long as I'm joining the group to watch the parking lot, I'd take my little Gerber kindling axe. Once you started to see one handed folks getting driven around by some scraggly blue-gummed gutter sluts, you'd know you were making a positive impact for posterity!

You'd recognize the really stupid ones by the homemade prosthetics for BOTH hands...
