A prison stint for bike theft seems a bit intense. Yes, it's very annoying to have a bike taken but there must be a better sentence than prison time.

For one bike maybe, but what about 10 or 100? Or if you run a chop shop focused in stolen bikes? There are a lot of enablers out there, but it is all seen as petty enough to fly under the punishment radar (at least here in Seattle).
It sounds like they cared more about the drugs found in this case.
