Increase the punishment for those who steal cars

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

To change the law for all type of theft. Otherwise they will keep doing if they will get suspended or maximum 6 months. Increasing the years will deter from doing it
Because the number of car theft has increased very high since 2018 and nothing is done . Police cannot do nothing if they got footage and is not clear . Cars will never be found and the person need to go through difficult steps with the insurance for getting back their value of the car.Who pay the stress , the time off which need to be taken from job ,etc?
