Yes but there are more people too. In percentages it is probably pretty steady. The amount of theives probably fluctuates with the economy too.

No, the definition of thievery is what is redefined. Do you consider fraudsters thieves? It takes a thieves' den to blend in working thieves. Not only does our economy encourage thievery, our court systems encourage fraud to be much the same violation as a parking ticket. My opinion is fraud is worse than crack dealing, but fraud goes hand-in-glove with financing politics and crack does not. Thieves are somewhere in the middle of those two extremes.

As a percentage to human population,the number of thieves was more or less steady,till Politicians joined the profession.Now,it's not possible to even count them.

Well as long as the man is making money selling locks, cameras, and other theft devices; then the man is going to keep letting thieves run free.

Your first two answers both are correct. I would also add that with 24-hour worldwide news coverage, we simply hear about more such acts from all over, whereas we used to only hear about local thefts and the really big ones from other parts of the country.

I would assume so because there's more people than there used to be.
