US gov should have impose HUDUD law to the thieves.
Cut off one dominant hand AND one leg, diagonally.

example: chop right hand and chop left leg
if left handed, chop left hand, chop right leg.
if the person is ambidextrous, chop off BOTH left & right limbs.

leave them on the streets. see how they survive after that.

instant, very efficient deterrence.
