Ok, here's the proposal.

If someone steals someone else's wallet or purse, they should automatically inherit all of that person's credit card debt if they are caught.

Think of it as the lottery, in reverse.

People will start giving them away and then crying thief.

I'm sure that would work out fabulously.

how about simply taking credit cards from those who rack up debts? they probably lose more money to the credit card companies every month than they would lose if they had their wallets stolen.

How about we give them some warnings, and then cut their hands off if they constantly violate it? I would NEVER even THINK of stealing if my precious hands were on the line.

would you still think that way if you were gambling losing a hand against starving your family? petty crime is a direct result of poverty, so before we go about enforcing drastic punishments, perhaps we should put some of that effort into eradicating poverty.

how about the credit card companies dont put in fine print the dangers of becoming in debt with the cards??

And just how does all of the companies find the thief?
