I hope this is all tinfoil talk, and perhaps it is just a report to wake folks up to the increase in property crime, but the timing of this seems a bit dubious to me.
This is what comes to mind whenever I hear this stuff in the news. Pushing guilt/responsibility on the responsible users because either the cops can't, or legally prevented from, resolving the crime problem. See the same thing about the opioid epidemic and how it is now my responsibility to safeguard my meds because others cannot control themselves and cannot be held responsible cause, you know, they are addicts, boo hoo. I have become pretty calloused to the plight of criminals/addicts anymore. Can't deal with life? Sounds like Darwin in action to me.
