It's been a crime for years and the police don't seem to have been able to stamp it out. Gosh, it's almost as if they can't be everywhere at once and that citizens will have to take some responsibility themselves for what constitutes acceptable social behaviour. Writing about it on blogs and news aggregates and raising awareness is the only way the problem will get solved.

Stealing has been a crime for years, and the police haven't been able to stamp it out. Is that a reason for not reporting it? If victims weren't reporting stealing to the police, that wouldn't be helping in any way.

What good does writing a blog post that as far as we can tell doesn't contain any checkable evidence do? (and I'm not advocating publicly shaming the guy -- again, the legal system is the established road for crimes, and this is no exception).
