It depends on what the crimes are. I think violent crimes should equal prison whereas others on a case-by-case basis. I've had stuff, expensive stuff, stolen and to be honest it's the lack of anything happening that's distressing. If they were caught and got
some punishment, even if it's community service or a fine, I would feel better than just effectively being told 'well, sucks to be you'. The police didn't even turn up. Just took a call and give me a crime number.
