According to 2 Corinthians 4:4, Satan is the god of this world. He is god of this world because people listen to him.
For that reason, all of us are treated as guilty until proven innocent. The thief has had such an impact upon society and businesses that they have to put extra security measures in place to prevent loss. These security measures are stripping away our freedom.
Businesses are using crime statistics to justify closing stores in the name of safety. Alot of times, its not really a security or safety issue. It is a labor issue and companies are using theft as excuse to bust unions. The thief is driving the economy.
Theft has to become unprofitable before you can stop the thief. The problem is that wicked doers are celebrated and tolerate in our culture.
Proverbs 29:24, He who partners with a thief hate his own soul
According to Zechariah 5:1-4, the judgment of God is loosed against thieves and those who swear falsely. There is a curse that is loosed into their houses until it is completely consumed; the timber and stones.
