TLDR : thieves often get away with crime because resources are limited, and smarter thieves play into it.

However I hardly think that concerntrating power is a solution nor that this is really a problem that needs to be solved by finding he thieves.

I’d be curious to know by how much incidents of petty crime are reduced for every 1% increase in the wealth of the poorest 5%.

Meanwhile, I think the police are doing the right thing by focusing on organised and serious crime, and society would be doing the right thing if it focused on the causes of crime rather than on expanding the police force.
