    @chris You have to think of all the other crimes this would prevent. You’d have a fraction of the thieves ripping people off if that was the punishment, so we taxpayers could afford a doctor’s bill now and then. Less jail holding time, court costs, prison costs, and insurance losses from stolen goods. We’d come out ahead! ;-)

    @Problem Solved : probably considerably more costly after the taxpayers have to rehabilitate said alleged offender from the chainsaw injury.

    Let the owner take a chainsaw to one of this thief’s fingers after he’s caught. Cost to the state: $1.87 bandage from the dollar store. Chances of re-offending? Slim.

    Maybe he needed some chainsaws for his new job.

    He definitely is not using the chain saws to work. He will either sell them cheap to someone or pawn them. If caught, he should be handed a chain saw and made to work with it 12 hours a day for a couple of months – but nowadays work is considered cruel punishment!

    People who won’t work …steal. All wrapped up,gloved up,masked up-they are “at work”-at least the only work they are willing to do.This isn’t their first rodeo. If the store owner goes on Facebook with the pictures we see and offers a reward somebody will turn them in.Facebook gets the word our and most people still can’t stand a thief.

    Just because they say Stihl, although pronounced the same as steal, does not mean you get to Stihl em.
