I don’t endorse Sharia law but it is a good crime deterrent to alleviate thefts, plus cuts down on back round checks. I mean, yo, if a job applicant is missing a hand, I guess he’s a thief.
When I was a kid...newly enlisted in the AF...I shared a flight with a guy that was living and working in Saudi Arabia. He showed me his watch...big gold jobbie, and said he could put it on the hood of his car and leave it there all day. He said you’d occassionally see a man with one hand, but he had yet to see a man with no hands. For what it’s worth....
