Bail at $10,250 for basically damaging not only a resident’s home and stealing his property but his sense of security in his own home? No wonder burglary is such a problem. We need to get tough on property crime. Until then we will continue to see it as a problem. The only true deterent to burglary and other property crime is longer prison time. Oftentimes these criminals will have a long history of being caught and repeating the crime. We need consequences that will actually discourage the criminal. These short prison stints only serve as a respite for offenders.
