Whereas Theft is the stealing of goods from one person by another, shall it be outlawed, and shall the punishment be repayment twofold the value of the goods stolen, and shall the theft be of a grand enough nature, then, too, shall imprisonment ensue. If the debt cannot be repaid, the offender shall be assigned to community service for an appropriate time period.
