What bull$hit!
First of all the victim has to look forward to an increase in their insurance policy. That's money and time is money. The inverse also holds true. Money is time in a respect because it cost someone time to earn it.
When a thief takes a person's property he takes the victim's time along with the property he stole.
Let's run a few numbers here.
Joe Blow makes $20/hour after taxes and saves up and buys a $2000 generator which someone promptly steals. Joe Blow is out $2000 which is 100 hours of Joe's life. The thief has stolen four days and four hours of Joe's time and that 100 hours can't be replaced.
You can't hook up a wire to Joe and the victim and transfer 100 hours of the thief's lifetime back to Joe. Joe has simply had the use of 100 hours of his time on earth in effect stolen from him. Time is the one thing that can't be replaced.
When somebody steals property from someone it's not just property. They have stolen their time that they could have used to enjoy themselves or improve their lives or for what ever purpose they desired.
