Of course, and no doubt these scumbags know that is the attitude of store managers and owners – that’s why they are so bold as to attempt such thefts brazenly.

Cash in transit staff are told to just hand over the money and not to attempt to foil the robbers. But sometimes they get seriously injured doing just that.

When the courts start handing down some serious sentences for these crimes instead of x numbers of hours doing ‘community service’ then these scrotes might just think twice about nicking stuff.

I’d bring back public birching or stocks – let them suffer a few days sat in their own faeces and urine in public along with some rotten fruit and veg to consider their chosen path in life….

…..or maybe we should copy Vlad III’s tactics. Do ’em all on Christmas Eve, or even better we could make an alternative Easter :-).
