Reward thieves, reduce thefts, feel safe.

You no longer have to worry about locking your door or engaging a private security, or shifting your valuables to a bank locker when going out of station. MightyIndianDream has recommended to the Government the best way to make people feel safe: legalize theft and tax thieves.

The process involves the creation of two bodies - Donor Union (DU) and Thieves Union (TU). The job of the police will be to act as a bridge between the two bodies, and ensure their smooth functioning. Any household with a ration card will be made a member of DU. (So this would also encourage citizens to apply for a ration card.) A member of TU will be assured of non-action by police for thefts. So this would encourage thieves to apply for a TU membership.

On the assigned date, a DU member will auction his property for theft, fixing a base price and auctioning backwards. The bidder quoting the lowest price will be chosen as the Official Thief for the member's house. The keys to the house would be handed over to the thief in a grand ceremony. It would be up-to the thief and house owner to arrive upon a mutually agreeable date for theft.

On the day of theft, the thief has to sponsor the family for a movie or any outing that would keep the family engaged while he is busy stealing. In return, the family has to make sure the thief feels at home, and load the fridge with nutritious and tasty eatables. After theft, depending on the facilities enjoyed, the thief would leave behind a tip. However, a minimum tip of 10% would be mandatory, so as to make the owner feel all isn't lost.

For every unannounced or unorganized theft, the Theft Union will have to pay a heavy fine to the government. By rule, a house, once robbed, would be put off auction for the next 5 years. If the plan goes well, then in future there might be premium membership options, wherein the thief would mop your floor, dust your ceiling and wash your car in addition to the theft.
