Hhhmm... I know! FIRE!" I followed up to see what sentence he got, it was 21 months which in the UK system means he prob just done not much over a year. A fair sentence I believe as in the judges own words he was... "Incredibly stupid but not malicious". Link here for reference.

Do you know of any involving a modest SEer who hits retailers once every few weeks without drawing ridiciouls amount of attention to himself? Like below 1k per month?
Seems the average SEer here is only looking for a few nice things every now while maintaining at least some plausable deniability, and not intentially trying to piss off loss prevention units.

Fires the usual recourse for our species
Yeah around a year sounds about right our judicial system is pretty lenient, he's an idiot no doubt but no criminal mastermind.
I know of people to do less than 2 years for death by dangerous driving, not much of a deterrent if you ask me!
