Driver James Mabe's wife had given him $2,400 to buy Christmas presents. A family attorney says officials aren't sure if Mabe had already died when the money was stolen.

I’m sorry, but we are going to have to start hanging thieves.

There are too many of them and they aren’t afraid of prison.

I think we need to start with murderers first. We execute 1 murderer for every 500 homicides per year.

A thief steals your freedom when he picks your pocket.

Thieves are every bit as bad as slavemasters.

"...Crouch was caught on bodycam video taking more than $2,000 from Jim Mabe's pocket..."

They steal the time it took you earn that money as an honest man. You can’t get that time back. Therefore the punishment should be harsh.
