how can we prevent them from stealing?

Yeah, but then we cannot bring enough money anymore since it'd be so heavy. One way of stopping this crime is for people to dress simply so they won't look rich and not flaunt their bling blings and gadgets.

There's 2 easy way to prevent this for me. 1. Do not give them a chance to steal. By not giving them a chance, they won't bother trying to steal. When they know they will get nowhere with this high risk low reward kind of action, they will stop later on. So to prevent them from stealing, take good care of your stuffs first. If everyone does this, you won't see people running around shouting "Have you seen my bag/wallet?" 2. Fear. In the past, the amount of thieves is ridiculously low because they have stealing has a really big punishment. Just for stealing you can get your hand chopped off in prison. Now, they only sit in prison for awhile and that's that! If we still have that kind of rule, we won't really see anyone stealing because fear will easily control anyone heart. Too bad this one is just too cruel and the world probably won't accept it.

hi, yeah you are right,if only money is big and heavy as a book,maybe thief will be lessen,or everyone who steals can be stopped.poverty is the main reason why they are stealing something to other people.
