    The only place where I’d do this would be in one of those Islamic countries where they cut your hand off for stealing

      You could probably get away with it in Japan or Korea, too. In Japan, they’d be glaring at you for saving your seat, and in Korea, an old person might sit on your phone or yell at you…but the phone would still be there

      Nah, draconian punishments are usually a sign of high-crime, low-enforcemwnt, so you’re overdoing punishment to drive the point home for the few thieves you manage to catch.

        This one is just Sharia law, lol. The UK used to have similar draconian punishments for stealing, namely, deportation to Australia
