When you don’t punish crime and allow it to flourish, this is what you get.

Exactly right. Not punishing criminals could one day lead to them becoming president of your country.

Disgusting behavior.

Thinking that thieves can't steal from a moving train or a well lit, fenced and guarded rail yard. There must be a way to organize these shipments so they don't sit on rail sidings like this but are either moving or in a secure location. I see trains sitting in dark urban sidings with no guards or any kinds of security around them and its an invitation to theft.

Just thinking out loud ... perhaps if someone accidentally broke a leg or arm as they are arrested, that would slow down the theft rings? When the courts and justice system don't do the job required, people may turn to other methods.
