Some suggestions:
  • Your perceptions are biased by cases that receive notice because they are unusual. (Mine are.)
  • You pay less attention to the results of cases involving two mv drivers. (I do.)
  • Stolen bikes are much harder to find than stolen cars.
  • A stolen car report requires filling out paperwork and often stops there unless and until the car happens to be found.
  • The most serious criminal penalties require proof of intent. Other require proof of negligence.
  • Most police departments/prosecutors/courts are stretched so thin they only survive by doing case triage.
