Billy Ray Powers:  Have you ever asked yourself why victims of crime (including theft) never sue the perps to recover their losses?  The answer is actually simple,  You can't get blood out of a rock!  Restitution sounds great on paper but is certainly NOT the answer, for the same reason.  Court ordered restitution still must be collected and most criminals don't have decent jobs in the first place.  And more importantly, no court can order restitution greater than actual damages.  Your idea of punishing offenders by ordering 10 times damages is simply not even legal to do.
