You dont have to be at home asleep to be a victim either.

You can just be driving to the shops or standing on the footpath and you get wiped out by a 13 year old driving a massive Pajero...been half a dozen people killed like this already in Qld but no meaningful changes while Puddleduck and Giggles are in charge.

Police in Townsville were ordered back to the station after the crims rammed them, they know they cant be chased if they make it dangerous. Every park here has large boulders around them now to stop donuts, looks terrible. Townsville finally got a Police chopper after 9 years of complaining...must be an election coming.

It is up to the govt to change the laws to what the public victims...not the dogooders...want. I'd start with minimum sentences at a work camp type place with no phone service out in the sticks. For many kids current prison is like the Hilton compared to their homes, 3 meals, bed, air con and TV etc.

Ankle bracelets in Qld have been only used on about 3 kids, they have the right to refuse to wear them...great law. Charging parents is only paying for it ourselves through our taxes as most of their parents are not wealthy. If a wealthy brat well sure, fine mum and dad. But 90% of us will just get a higher insurance bill and no restituition.

Police Forensics take weeks, insurance companies longer, people lose their jobs because of no transport, thats not covered in most cheap policies, only higher end ones. Or they get a payout for their old car of half what a replacement costs.

Cars are virtually unstealable without keys so now the little sh!ts just come into your house for the keys...doesnt matter if you are home or not. This is why many women would rather leave the keys near the door so the oxygen thieves dont come right into bedrooms.

Its true there are many causes and several possible solutions but there must at least be some form of proper punishment to make them think twice about doing it again.
