Loot a Store, Lose Your House

At least if it’s a taxpayer-subsidized flat in the UK.

In the first case of its kind, Daniel Sartain-Clarke, 18, and his mother have been served with an eviction notice as council bosses seek to turf them out of their £225,000 taxpayer-subsidised flat.

Sartain-Clarke is charged with violent disorder and attempting to steal electronic goods from the Currys store at Clapham Junction, South London, on Monday night.

I think if the UK were to implement a policy that anyone caught looting would be kicked off all government benefits (the dole, housing, NHS, etc.) for life, I believe you’d see the last of rioting there for a very long time.
