Despite agreeing with you in broad strokes I still don't see this being completely feasible. We should obviously strive for a society where people don't need to steal and don't feel compelled to steal either. That said, even in a much better situation there will still be someone who does it. At some point you really do have to go "investing more resources into this is not productive for society".


Like I said, it depends on the assumptions, but I agree that for most assumptions, there will be some tradeoff and non-zero level of theft occuring.

My main rejection is the idea that the current state is the best possible situation given all possible permutations.
