Summary death to bicycle thieves, and anyone else actively wrecking the world. I am averse to the death penalty in most cases, but bicycle thieves are actively wrecking their communities. Someone rides a bike because they:
- Have no other option
- Are trying to improve their health
- Are living car-free or car-lite
- Are trying to enjoy the locals with active transportation OR
- Are complying with a court-ordered driving suspension
Stealing bicycles undermines these goals and poisons the community.
Of course, we could easily scale this up to, say, almost all CEOs of megacorporations.

The weaker part of a conflict is not always in the right just because it's weaker than the other part and got beaten up.
