If only these automakers would just stop making cars that are so damned easy to steal! It's their fault, I tell ya! They keep putting those catalytic converters on the lowest shelf where they're most easily accessible! This is tantamount to entrapment!

I'm mad at the postal service. They should know better to put mailboxes in such a convenient place where nice, law abiding people are tempted to steal from them! More entrapment!
The true culprit is battery powered cutting tools.

From the photos in the article, they sure look like "thugs" as PA-Playa labeled them upthread. (That is certainly a charged word that should not be loosely thrown around nowadays)
But more to the point , since the "comedians" above are making light of the matter with their ridiculous strawmen, if people wouldn't buy stolen goods, people wouldn't steal stuff for resale (for ORC purposes, anyways). Focusing on stopping the thefts won't stop the problem; which was my point above that nobody understood because it gets in the way of their "thug petty shoplifter" narrative and mental preconceived images.
If you want to stop this problem you have to stop it BOTH on the retail side and on the black market re-sale of the hot goods side. Good luck with the current approach of just the former.
Imagine the thousands of carpel tunnel cases penthouse is responsible for. I think surgeons are in cahoots with porno mags.
Imagine if you could argue the point without resorting to Strawmen to punch down on.
Imagine the the futility of living under the constant belief that you’re perpetually oppressed and others owe you something.
