Your attitude seems to be: "F*ck the thousands of innocent people who
potentially suffer because of attacks of wanton vandalism and theft such
as these, it is far better that they do so than the guilty be punished
in any way - even if it be by their own stupidity".


Considering that the police investigation that is the result of the
deaths will delay the repair compared with the situation if the
thieves had got away, ISTM that it is *you* who doesn't care about the
increase to the disruption so long as the thieves suffer bad
consequences.


Don't be such a silly boy, that is not what I have said.

They bring these things upon themselves and they bring about the
disruption which requires police involvement. Of course such disruption
is inconveniencing and annoying to everybody. If the consequences of
their acts are that they injure or kill themselves, so be it, it is
self-inflicted. Nothing I can say or do will change that, however I
don't see that I should feel guilty for lacking in sympathy for such
people.
