My thoughts exactly. What bright spark thought this up? Here we've got a lad (presumably) that apparently thinks nothing of smashing in shop windows to take whatever he fancies and people think the appropriate punishment is to take the little money he has away. What the hell do people think he's going to do now that he's got even less money than before? I figure he's not going to get a paper route or wash cars...
I think a spell in prison is far more appropriate.
