Review how law handles tool theft

What the petition asks
I think there should be a review into this as I believe punishments are not harsh enough. This review should also address how the law treats victims of tool theft, who I think should be more able to defend themselves and their livelihoods.
This affects many tradespeople. Having their tools stolen can cost them greatly and turn their lives upside down.
