The problem, as eluded to in previous posts, is not that laws are not there. Theft, of any caliber, is a crime, period. It should be punished or, better yet, prevented.
The problem is a lack of motivation of the authorities to pursue and punish such crime. I think JRAEF has the right idea to make a stink about it - the squeeky wheel gets the grease, as it were.
News reports are getting more and more common about this problem, but lawmakers are hesitant to act on anything that people are not screaming in there ear about. If we all write a letter, maybe it'll light a fire under their collective bottoms.
I'm drafting mine this week...
