Was listening to our customer (Mr Smith) telling us about a young lad he gave employment too once. He treated him really well (paid well) and at xmas time gave him a generous bonus. And gave him dinners at his own home. He left after a few years. Even though he had a first hand chance of getting into the gas industry. Mr Smith had his home broken into a short while after and about £10k's worth of valuables stolen. For certain reasons he was able to deduce that his former employee was involved. Then a guy in prison gave info. (grassed) The scumbag did three years in jail. About 10 years prior to this incident Mr Smith had a children's party at his home. After the party ended he noticed valuables and cash missing from his bedside cabinets. And the thief mentioned (who was about 10 years old at the time) was at the party. It was over 10 years before Mr Smith could put 2 and 2 together. Mr Smith met him at a stud farm shortly after his release from prison and decked him with a single punch. Despite explaining to the stud farm officials what this bloke was capable off they banned Mr Smith from entering their stud farm. Though the owner gave him permission a short while after. Not long after this incident the stud farm lost over £5k's worth of saddlery. Question How can a thief like that be rehabilitated? I can only think of chopping one of his arms off. And if he still persists then the other. Doesn't seem to be much else.

Ry, could you re-name your thread "A thief and how he operates." You don't want to tarnish all thieves with this guy's complete lack of morals now, do you? As to your proposed method of rehabilitation; I would take your idea further and extend it to include non-thinking people - a neat chop of the head should suffice.
Didn't realise thieves had morals. I guess with your left wing leanings you can shift into apologist mode for these scum bags. And since you cannot answer my question then I suspect your own head needs chopping off. Sharia law will rule the UK one day anyway and this will be the norm. (ie - thieves having hands and arms severed) If you want to see it first hand (no pun intended) then copy and paste this into U tube..... "Thief's Hand Cut Off & Man Whipped For Watching Porn: ISIS Brutal Punishment" In isis controlled areas this is normal And of course is common in saudia arabia.
"Didn't realise thieves had morals." Clearly you didn't - it comes as no surprise to me that you'd use a single example to write your uninformed criminal policy. "Sharia law will rule the UK one day anyway..." No it won't, you blathering idiot. But it sounds as tho' you'd quite welcome it? How strange that an imbecile who believes in magic potions and phantom cures is sooo completely lacking the essence of humanity. Actually, not strange at all.
The noose is out and I'm the one lacking the essence of humanity. Still didn't answer the question on rehab. And btw what morals do thieves have?
Question on rehab? Most people can be fully rehabilitated if given the proper chance. And often the cause of them going off the rails wasn't their choice in the first place. But I bet you don't believe that? And you won;t want to believe it either. And chust so's you understand the terminology - chopping off a person's hand ain't 'rehabilitation'. It ain't even a punishment. It's pure barbarity.
Considering said thiefs ole man did 10 years for robbery I'm hardly gonna think it was his choice. They were born into that life. Which is why only barbarity will take them out of it. Knee capping seems to work well where I come from. I'll bet your even one of those wimps who thinks banning the cane was a good idea.
Well, as a teacher, I'm glad I didn't have the option of the cane or - what I had the pleasure of receiving myself as a kid - the leather strap. You really are a complete f'wit, Ry! It never ceases to amaze me how little some people have evolved. Not even the most basic understanding of humanity
