No one relies on bike theft to "survive".

> Theft is solved by making society better, not worse.

Phew, good to hear. Here I thought it would be a hard and complex problem, with lots of unknown unknowns, difficult political compromises, a generation-spanning efforts and many potential solutions with uncertain outcomes, partially contradicting each other.

Instead, we just have to make society better. So, what's step 1?

"reliant upon crime to survive"

Do we have any sources that people are stealing to survive? What definition of surviving are we using here?

Repeat after me "Criminals are not Alladin"
