Because that's the hand that is used while thinking of what is under the
burkha?

'cause that's the one reserved for eating, while the left is reserved for
wiping one's ass. It forces the thief to eat with what is considered an
inherently-dirty hand.

One assumes that the clerics disapprove of decadent capitalistic infidel
Western notions like handwashing.

I'm sure that Jeff meant this to be "tongue-in-cheek" but his point is very
valid. A large part of the reason that this type of theft occurs (as well as
all other types of crime) is because of the light "slap on the wrist"
punishment these thieves get when they get caught.

I'm sure NOBODY here is advocating killing for the theft of hubcaps, but I
do believe we need MUCH STIFFER penalties/punishments for vandalism, theft,
etc.

Ummm, but what would you reward a spinner's thief with? Surely stealing
spinners can't be considered anything but a service to humanity.

Hubcaps is one thing, but this was about the hood ornament on a Dodge Truck.

Seriously, it was tongue in cheek, just as you said, andthe point is
priecisely that we give the slap on the han way too much for there to be any
deterent of crime to come out of the punishment given.
