What a set of losers....I'm sure their parents must be mighty embarassed by the actions of their ADULT children.
Instead of putting them inprison and letting them rest on their butts....make them work a chain-gang ,12 hours per day , hard labor , until they've paid off the exact dollar amount that they stole from the area business's. (Minimun wage rate for labor.) Maybe then they'll think MORE than twice before they do something as stupid as this again.
