I think there would be a noticeable rise in theft during the pandemic, in part brought on by businesses closing up because of lockdowns or lack of customers. People on low incomes or no incomes are really hurting because of this pandemic.

See it every day on the news here! Some dimwit stealing and looking straight at the cctv camera, or leaving their ID card or phone at the scene, then found later at their mums house!

It's one of the things I am most amazed about here. Many shops here are so badly secured, yet nearly nothing happens. Even with all this misery now, most people seem to have a working moral compass
